A resolution relating to the code of ethics of the House of Representatives for the Ninety-first General Assembly.
This resolution establishes a formal code of ethics for Iowa House members and staff, directly affecting all legislators and employees. It prohibits accepting economic opportunities intended to influence official duties, bans lobbying for political action committees during sessions, and requires disclosure of conflicts of interest when voting on legislation affecting personal financial interests. Specific rules include not charging lobbyists for expenses, avoiding excessive fees from legislative contacts, and refraining from using confidential information for personal gain. As a procedural ethics code, it sets clear conduct standards without changing substantive laws.
