This last Friday was the annual end of the first funnel for bills in the Iowa Legislature. In other words, Friday was the last day for individual bills to be passed in their respective committees to be eligible for debate in either the House or Senate. There were no bills debated on the House floor to allow committees time this week to pass their bills.
