What’s in it
AI summary The state transportation commission would be required to have one member living in each of seven specific regions of Iowa. If a member moves out of their assigned region, they must resign from the commission. This change ensures that every part of the state has a representative who actually lives there.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, the state transportation commission (STC) is charged with developing, coordinating, and annually updating a comprehensive transportation policy and plan for the state, among other duties. This bill requires that for each of the seven regions of the state, as designated by the bill, one member of the STC must be appointed to represent, and must reside in, each region. The bill divides the state into seven regions with each region consisting of certain adjoining counties. The bill provides that a member appointed to represent a region who no longer resides in the region shall be deemed to have resigned from the STC and the vacancy shall be filled as provided by current law. The bill takes effect upon enactment, applies to members of the STC appointed and confirmed on or after the effective date of the bill, and sets forth transition provisions.
