What’s in it

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa relating to the sponsorship of bills by members of the general assembly. The amendment limits the number of introduced bills on which a member of the general assembly may be a lead sponsor to per session of each general assembly. 2001 general assembly may appear as the lead sponsor and does not apply to appropriations bills, Iowa Code editor bills, and bills certified as emergency legislation by the committee on rules and administration in the senate or the committee on administration and rules in the house.
