House clerk reads dozens of bills for first consideration; most sent to committees
Summary
The Iowa House clerk read dozens of House files on topics from infant and maternal care to athletic licensure and campaign finance; most bills received first reading and were placed on the calendar or referred to relevant committees.
The House session opened with the clerk reading a long list of House files for first reading and indicating committee referrals. The items covered a wide range of subjects, including "House File 2593 by R. Johnson, a bill for an act relating to infant and maternal care at health care facilities," licensing and professional-standards measures, and several education- and transportation-related bills. The clerk read each title and committee referral aloud during the procedural portion of the morning session.
Most of the bills were given first reading and either placed on the calendar or referred to standing committees such as Health and Human Services, State Government, Judiciary, Transportation, Education and Agriculture. No floor debate on specific bills was recorded during the reading; the clerk noted committee referrals and that bills were not yet ready for commitment or amendment where applicable. The House then proceeded to other business and presentations.
