What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

The Iowa Attorney General has exclusive authority to enforce ICDPA. Before suing, the Attorney General must give a controller or processor 90 days' written notice identifying the specific provisions violated; unlike Connecticut's, Delaware's, and Montana's time-limited or eliminated cure rights, this 90-day cure right carries no sunset date in the text read. Civil penalties run up to $7,500 per violation, and the chapter creates no private right of action.
