A joint resolution supporting devolution of power from the United States department of education to the states.

This is a symbolic joint resolution (SJR 2012) passed by Iowa's legislature. It expresses Iowa's support for federal efforts to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education and urges Congress to cooperate with such efforts. The resolution argues that education policy should be managed by states rather than the federal government, citing constitutional principles and claims that federal involvement has not improved student reading scores. It does not create new laws or change existing policies - it is purely a statement of legislative opinion.
