Iowas 11 finishing touches proposed for civil rights law
Iowa City IA Professor Arthur E Bonfield who drafted 1965 and 1967 civil rights laws outlined 11 changes to strengthen enforcement. Four align with Civil Rights Commission proposals including bonding repeal for housing complaints power to subpoena and seek injunctions and allow evidence from the commission. He also urges revoking licenses, allowing hearings without mediation, banning block busting, expanding sex protections, records by employers, and replacing the commission with a full time director. He argues stronger enforcement and broader public support will improve policing of discrimination.
