What’s in it

This bill establishes the Iowa state capitol historical society (society). The bill requires the society to collect and preserve, in a location that is open to the public, the history of the state capitol, the events that have occurred at the state capitol, the people who have worked at the state capitol, the ideas that have emerged from the state capitol, and the architecture and art of the state capitol building and related areas. The bill allows the society to make recommendations to the capitol planning commission regarding projects, plans, and opportunities relating to the state capitol building and grounds.

Read the full explanation

The society shall consist of members of the general assembly, who shall serve as ex officio, nonvoting members, residents of the state of Iowa appointed by the governor, and the director of the department of administrative services (department) or the director’s designee. The bill requires the society to be funded through donations, grants, loans, and contributions from any public or private source. Moneys received by the society pursuant to the bill shall be deposited in a fund which shall be created in the state treasury under the control of the department. Moneys credited to the fund are appropriated to the society for the purpose of executing the duties of the society under the bill.
