What’s in it
AI summary Before lawmakers debate bills about state spending, a special agency must write a report on how that money affects minority groups in Iowa. This report will look at things like jobs, school, voting, and prison rates. If a lawmaker changes the bill, the agency can write a new report to show those changes, but it cannot slow down the voting process.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that the legislative services agency shall prepare a minority impact statement for appropriations bills prior to debate. The bill provides that the statement shall include the impact of the legislation upon minority persons in the state, including, but not limited to information regarding economic opportunities, employment, incarceration, educational opportunities, voter rights and voting access, and other relevant matters. A revised minority impact statement shall be prepared if the minority impact has been changed by the adoption of an amendment, and may be requested by a member of the general assembly or be prepared upon a determination made by the legislative services agency. The bill provides that a request for a revised minority impact statement cannot delay legislative action. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
