Iowa Reform Plan Would Shrink State Officers Powers
A legislative committee report proposes reorganizing Iowa state government to boost the governor’s authority while reducing the secretary of state auditor and treasurer to executive officers. It suggests three departments handling all state activities with a governor appointed head of each, plus an Attorney General leading the state legal department. The plan trims constitutional powers, abandons yearly license plate renewals, and seeks a broader budget system and unified state operations. The proposal, discussed at Spirit Lake, preserves existing departments but reorganizes them into three divisions, with 12 to 14 departments per division.
