Discourage Freak Legislation by Fee for Bills in Iowa
March 14. Senator Evans proposes a new rule to curb freak bills by charging $1 for each bill introduced by a member. The funds would go to the fish and game protection fund, reducing time spent on irrelevant proposals. The measure would have raised about $1.3 thousand this session, with 376 House and 499 Senate bills so far. Evans did not say whether he would personally introduce the fee with his own bill.
