A bill for an act relating to liability of persons performing housing or rental inspections for a municipality.

Summary

The bill changes Iowa law so that anyone who conducts a housing or rental inspection for a city or town is treated as an employee for purposes of the state’s municipal tort liability code. This makes municipalities potentially liable for the inspectors’ actions, while the inspectors retain qualified immunity and are generally shielded from personal monetary damages unless they act with actual malice.
