A bill for an act relating to the organization of congressional district conventions.
HF 2239 requires Iowa political parties to hold congressional district conventions to elect delegates (who must be eligible voters and residents), adopt district platforms for state committee consideration, and establish district central committees starting in 2027. These committees, composed of county central committee chairs, must elect officers for two-year terms, create bylaws filed with the state election office, and prohibit proxies at conventions. The bill also mandates that conventions transact other business as required by law or party rules. This procedural legislation changes how parties organize at the district level for internal governance and platform development.
