What’s in it
AI summary Iowa lawmakers could vote to cancel federal executive orders or decisions made by federal courts. If a majority of members in both the House and Senate agree, those federal rules would no longer be enforceable within the state. The governor would not need to sign off on these decisions.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to the nullification of federal executive orders and the decisions of federal courts. The bill allows the general assembly to nullify a federal executive order or a decision of a federal court by a constitutional majority vote of each house of the general assembly. A nullification is not subject to signature by the governor. A federal executive order or decision of a federal court nullified pursuant to the bill is unenforceable in Iowa.
