A bill for an act providing for a buffer strip program and fund, and making appropriations.

Summary

The bill directs Iowa’s Division of Soil Conservation and Water Quality to set up a voluntary program where landowners plant permanent vegetation next to streams and rivers. The state will share the cost, provide a dedicated fund, and require a sign to let the public know the land is enrolled. The goal is to reduce erosion, nutrient runoff, and improve surface‑water quality.
