Iowa Attorney General Opinions

The Office of the Iowa Attorney General issues formal and informal opinions on matters of law and regulation. Opinions of the Attorney General are not legally binding; however, they provide legal direction to state agencies, the Iowa General Assembly, the Governor, county bodies such as boards of supervisors, boards of health, or county public hospitals; and others. As such, opinions of the Attorney General, particularly formal opinions, are taken seriously. Only certain persons, such as state legislators, heads of state agencies, or county attorneys, can request an opinion from the Attorney General.
