A bill for an act relating to the commission on uniform state laws.

SF 2070 updates Iowa's Commission on Uniform State Laws by requiring the governor to appoint commissioners (who must be Iowa bar members in good standing) with Senate confirmation, and to fill vacancies through new appointments. The bill also mandates that the commission submit its expense reports to the Legislative Council for approval and provide recommended legislation reports to the House Speaker and Senate President for committee review. These changes clarify the commission's appointment process and reporting requirements to the legislature, without altering the commission's core duties of promoting uniform state laws and attending national conferences. The bill is currently under review by the Judiciary Subcommittee with a recommendation for passage.
