This bill renames the commission as the Mississippi river parkway commission (MRPC) and requires the members to each reside in a different county adjacent to the Mississippi river in Iowa. Current law requires seven advisory ex officio members to serve on the MRPC, one each from the state transportation commission, the natural resource commission, the state soil conservation and water quality committee, the state historical society of Iowa, the faculty of the landscape architectural division of the Iowa state university of science and technology, the economic development authority, and the environmental protection commission.
