What’s in it

AI summary Iowa would create a new committee to watch how the governor and state agencies spend federal money received for the COVID-19 pandemic. This group must meet at least twice a year to review reports on where that money went. Additionally, the state auditor will constantly check these spending records to make sure everything is being handled correctly.1
