What’s in it
AI summary Iowa lawmakers will review and remove parts of the state law books in stages over the next ten years. Before a section is removed, the legislature will check it to see if any changes are needed. If they decide a section is still important, they can pass new laws to bring it back.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides for the repeal of titles of the Code every years over a 10-year period beginning July 1, 2024. The bill directs the general assembly, pursuant to procedures established by the legislative council, to review a title during the fiscal year prior to its repeal to determine any amendments that may be necessary or appropriate. The bill provides that the general assembly may, by enactment of one or more bills, reenact any title repealed or scheduled to be repealed pursuant to the bill, in whole or in part, with any amendments the general assembly may find necessary or appropriate after such review. The schedule for repeal of titles pursuant to the bill is as follows: Titles I (state sovereignty and management) and II (elections and official duties), July 1, 2024, and every years thereafter. Titles III (public services and regulation) and IV (public health), July 1, 2025, and every years thereafter. Titles V (agriculture) and XI (natural resources), July 1, 2026, and every years thereafter. Title VI (human services), July 1, 2027, and every years thereafter. Title VII (education and cultural affairs), July 1, 2028, and every years thereafter. Title VIII (transportation), July 1, 2029, and every years thereafter. Title IX (local government), July 1, 2030, and every years thereafter. Title X (financial resources), July 1, 2031, and every years thereafter.
