Died when the session ended The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died. What’s a funnel?

What’s in it

AI summary People living in Iowa who owe money could keep different types of weapons if their property is being taken to pay a debt. Instead of being limited to one shotgun and either one rifle or one musket, they would be allowed to keep one long gun and one handgun.1

Read the official explanation

This bill amends Code section 627.6 (general exemptions), which lists property that a debtor who is an Iowa resident may hold exempt from execution. The bill changes the exemption regarding firearms from “one shotgun, and either one rifle or one musket” to “one long gun and one handgun”.
