HJR 2001 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa relating to the sponsorship of bills by members of the general assembly.

HJR 2001 proposes a constitutional amendment limiting Iowa legislators to sponsoring no more than 10 bills as lead sponsor per legislative session. It does not restrict additional sponsorships or apply to resolutions, appropriations bills, Iowa Code editor bills, or emergency legislation certified by specific committees. The amendment would require the next general assembly to adopt it before submitting to voters for ratification. This change directly affects Iowa state legislators' ability to introduce new bills as primary sponsors during a single session.
