Inside ISAC Government Relations

End of Week Two

The first two weeks have come and gone. The Legislature has been in session for only seven days with three days being taken up to a great degree by addresses by Governor Branstad, Chief Justice Mark Cady, and The National Guard Adjutant General Timothy Orr. One hundred and eighty three pieces of legislation have already been introduced including two property tax reform bills and one TIF reform bill.

The ISAC bill tracking tool tracks each piece of legislation. Click here to access this tool. Please let ISAC policy staff know if you see a bill of interest that we have missed. 

Remember to visit with your legislators at their forums and any other opportunity that you get. And remember that March 1 is County Day at the Capitol. As things are unfolding so far this year, there will be plenty for county officials to discuss with their legislators.
