This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa eliminating involuntary servitude as a legal punishment for crime. The resolution provides that an Iowa court or an Iowa probation or parole agency may order community service or another alternative to incarceration. 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.
