Doings of the Iowa General Assembly
The Thirty-eighth general assembly shows strong opposition to the sitting committee system in the senate with a concurrent resolution to force bills out to the other house. Reports note demands for housecleaning over the Rathbun pardon probe and auto department disclosures while Lt Governor Moore rules the state flag bill out of order. Resignation of Secretary Allen follows a departmental affairs report, and multiple bills pass or move in areas from widowed mothers aid to municipal court judges and county officers to tax and licensing reforms.
