A chamber clerk informed the Senate on April 1 that the House had passed a series of bills and sent them to the Senate for further action. "Mister president, I am directed to inform your honorable body that the house has on 04/01/2000 or 2026 passed the following bills," the reading clerk said, and proceeded to read the titles and short descriptions.
The list included measures described on the floor as: Senate File 2411, a bill to establish an Iowa–Ireland trade commission; Senate File 378, a bill relating to a default speed limit and associated penalties; House File 907, a bill directing the Department of Transportation to provide registration and special plates for noncommercial fleet vehicles; House File 2337, a bill addressing fraudulent practices involving academic credentials and professional licensing; House File 2671, a bill concerning matters under the Department of Administrative Services including events, vehicle compatibility with biodiesel blends of B20 or higher, and effective dates; House File 2185, a bill on cost sharing for health savings accounts and qualified high-deductible health plans; House File 2326, relating to debt management services, fees and licensing; House File 2706, relating to judicial officers including magistrate appointments and compensation; and House File 1028, involving appropriations under the Department of Management.
The reading on the Senate floor provided the statutory short titles and described the subject areas but did not include bill text, vote tallies from the House, or committee referrals in the Senate. The reading clerk delivered the itemized list without further floor debate. No senator requested immediate consideration or debate on the floor at that time.
Next steps: the bills were formally presented to the Senate for its consideration; the transcript does not record referrals, committee assignments or scheduled hearings on the listed measures.
Proper names and entities referenced on the floor include the Department of Transportation and the Department of Administrative Services; specific bill numbers and short descriptions were read on the record.
