Court strikes down Iowa public notice suit rule
The Iowa Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision invalidates an 18-year-old law requiring prompt notice before suing local governments. The ruling, written by Justice Louis Lavorato, says the six month filing limit with 60 day notice is unfair and violates equal protection. The decision reshapes timelines for government torts aligning them with private actions, affecting local government budgets and insurance costs.
