Legislative Notes From Rep Nelson Iowa annual sessions favored
Iowa House advanced a proposed constitutional amendment for annual legislative sessions by an 88 to 33 vote, placing the issue before voters in November 1968. The measure had prior Senate approvals and faces the 1968 ballot. Rep Nelson supported the action while noting a separate 18 year voting age bill was indefinitely postponed. The House also backed Senate File 151 to rename State College of Iowa to the University of Northern Iowa and raise its status, with Governor Hughes expected to sign. The geode was named state rock after House and Senate votes, though Nelson questioned the distribution plan. He did not vote for Joint Resolution 14 to move the state primary date.
