What’s in it

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa relating to legislative changes to public retirement systems. The resolution requires that any bill containing provisions enacting, amending, or repealing any provision relating to a public retirement system shall require the affirmative votes of at least two-thirds of the members of each house of the general assembly for passage. The resolution, if adopted, would be published and then referred to the next general assembly (92nd) for adoption, before being submitted to the electorate for ratification.
