The Iowa House passed House File 2749, a measure that revises the requirements for submitting a declaration of value when recording deeds or instruments conveying real property in Iowa.
Representative Holt, recognized by the chair as the sponsor, called it “the most noncontroversial bill I’ve ever run.” The clerk read the bill caption on the floor as required before final passage.
Representative Wikindoll, who said she served on the subcommittee for the legislation, told colleagues the bill “removes some…clutter in the code” and urged members to recommend passage. With no further discussion, the motion was made to read the bill for the last time and place it on passage.
The House voted on passage: 90 ayes, 0 noes and 10 not voting. The chair declared that the bill had received a constitutional majority and had passed the House; the title was then agreed to without objection.
The bill will proceed in the legislative process following passage in the House.
