Summary
The Iowa Senate passed House file 26 97, a bill described by sponsor Senator Dickey as allowing payments of certain damages with consent when charges are dismissed; the measure passed by a constitutional majority and was messaged to the House.
Senator John Dickey (Senator from Jefferson) introduced House file 26 97, saying the bill "allows a payment of precursory damages with consent of the defendant and the prosecutor when the charges are dismissed by the court." He moved the bill for final reading and passage.
The Senate proceeded through the readings and procedural motions. The secretary read the bill text as presented on the floor, and the title of the bill was agreed to.
The clerk opened the voting system and recorded the roll call. Multiple senators were recorded voting 'aye' during the roll call; the secretary reported those voting in favor as 44 and opposed as 0. The chair declared that the bill, having received a constitutional majority, had passed the Senate. The Senate then ordered the bill immediately messaged to the House by unanimous consent.
No amendments, conditions, or implementation details beyond the floor description were discussed on the record during consideration. The bill will proceed to the House for further action.
