What it does
This bill prohibits persons from simultaneously holding more than one elective office. Under current law, including provisions of the Constitution of the State of Iowa, common law, and the Code, the simultaneous holding of certain offices is barred, which is known as the doctrine of incompatibility of offices. The Constitution of the State of Iowa bars the simultaneous holding of offices for certain state-level offices. Common law bars the holding of multiple offices where one office is subordinate to the other, or where the duties of the two offices are inconsistent.
