Senate passes House file on emergency powers and related protections, 31-14
Summary
House File 26 94, addressing the governor's emergency powers and provisions covering places of worship, elections, private-residence conduct and businesses' vaccination policies, passed the Iowa Senate 31-14 after the Senate receded from an amendment and moved directly to final passage.
Senator Rosenblum called up House File 26 94 and described it as legislation related to the governor's emergency powers and protections for places of worship, elections, conduct in private residences, and vaccinations in private businesses.
"This bill is related to the governor's emergency powers protecting places of worship, elections, conduct in the private residence, vaccinations in private businesses," Rosenblum said during opening comments.
Rosenblum moved that the Senate recede from its amendment and proceed to the bill's final reading and passage. The motion to recede was agreed to; the Senate then advanced to last reading and final passage. The secretary read the bill's title for the record before the roll call. The secretary announced 31 ayes and 14 nays; the chair declared the bill passed and the title agreed to. Senator Klemish subsequently asked unanimous consent to immediately message the bill to the House; hearing no objections, the request was granted.
What happens next: The bill was messaged to the House. The transcript records the Senate's action and vote tally; detailed amendments and the content of the House amendment should be verified in the enrolled bill and committee records for full text and implementation specifics.
