In Iowa criminal law, “Clear and conspicuous information” is a term defined by statute rather than by its everyday meaning. Its statutory definition — quoted verbatim below — controls how the term is applied throughout the Iowa criminal code.

What does “Clear and conspicuous information” mean in Iowa criminal law?

“Clear and conspicuous information” means language that is readily understandable and presented in such size, color, contrast, and location, or audibility and cadence, compared to other language, as to be readily noticed and understood, and that is in close proximity to the request for consent to a free offer. (Iowa Code § 714.16)
