A bill for an act relating to the submission of proposed legislation by the governor and state departments and agencies.
SF 2207 extends the deadline for Iowa state departments and agencies to submit proposed legislation to the Legislative Services Agency from 45 to 60 days before each legislative session begins. It also requires the governor’s proposals to be submitted by Friday before the session (except during the governor’s first year), with the Legislative Services Agency returning proposals for review within 7 days. This procedural bill affects how state government entities coordinate with the legislature on upcoming bills, without changing substantive policy.
