When Can Lt. Governor Cast Tie Breaking Vote
Iowa readers learn why Lt. Gov. Mooty could not break a 25 25 senate tie on final passage. An attorney general opinion from 1930 limits the lieutenant governor’s vote to "other matters" when the senate is evenly divided, while amendments and resolutions may trigger his participation. The Shaff plan substitution case in 1959 is noted where Mooty cast a tie breaking vote on substitution, though final adoption followed 27 23.
