General Committee and Organization Information
Committees are responsible for knowing their deadlines. The Board strives to send every committee a reminder notice before every disclosure report filing deadline. However, these notices are merely a courtesy. Failure to receive a reminder notice is no excuse for an untimely report. If you need help determining your disclosure report filing deadlines, contact the Board's staff at ethicsboard@iowa.gov.
