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 Counties in Iowa with at least 60,000 people must use a specific system to elect their board of supervisors. Under this system, voters choose individual supervisors from districts that have an equal number of people. Large counties that do not already use this method have until after the next census to switch over.1

Read the official explanation

This bill requires a county with a population of 60,000 or more based on the most recent federal decennial census to use plan “three” for the election of county supervisors. Plan “three” requires individual members of the board of supervisors for that county to be elected from single-member equal-population districts. The bill provides that a county with a population of 60,000 or more as of the effective date of the bill that does not use plan “three” for the election of supervisors shall not be required to elect supervisors under plan “three” until the election for supervisors after the adoption of a county supervisor representation plan following the federal decennial census taken in 2020. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
