Opening Day Sparks Iowa General Assembly Session Two
From the Statehouse on January 12 the Sixty third Iowa General Assembly began its second session with seven new legislators seated two in the House and five in the Senate. Twenty five youth took Pages oaths. Governor Ray vowed no tax increase while urging access to voting regardless of residence. A flurry of activity followed with 56 bills moving through committees in four days. House File 564 expands lists for juror selection while a liquor law exemption for minors failed. A new Environmental Preservation committee formed with Rep Varley as chair. Republicans circulated a wave of resignations and the chamber aimed to be efficient, packing privileges into the final minutes before adjournment.
