Iowa Blue Sky Law Challenge Raises Constitutional Questions
Des Moines reports Ernest R. Adams & Co filed a petition attacking the Iowa Blue Sky law as unconstitutional and possibly never enacted by the Thirty-fifth General Assembly. The suit contends the published act chapter 137 differs from any bill passed and that no governor approval occurred. The petition cites fourteenth amendment concerns and argues the public record titles cover more than one subject. Additional notes cover Iowa marriage record updates, Colfax case on a Friedman Institute, and county agricultural data.
