Greetings from Under the Golden Dome
Now that the first funnel week is over we have been busy voting on bills, 15 to 20 a day.
Usually at the beginning of session the bills we work on are department bills which address mistakes and misinterpretations in the Iowa Code. These are usually unanimous votes and non-controversial. Then, there are some issues we deal with that may not affect a large number of people but may be a matter of ”life and death” for those it does. VS School Board meeting minutes, Feb. 22

House Commerce Committee Update: Transportation Network Company Legislation Making Moves
This week, I floor managed through the House Commerce Committee a bill that helps transportation network companies (like Uber and Lyft) integrate into the state. House File 2219 provides insurance provisions for transportation network companies. This topic is not new to the Iowa Legislature, as last year, the House attempted to move a bill addressing the same companies –but with some differences.
Kapucian Korner: First 'funnel week,' Medicaid changes and Transportation
Greetings from Under the Golden Dome
This was the first funnel week of the session. The purpose of the week is to narrow the focus of our attention. Bills which have little support from the overall General Assembly as well as those which have merit but simply are not far enough along in their development to fully implement.
Supplemental State Aid is still in conference committee.
In the Statehouse: Updates from DM on Medicaid and more
Hi Everybody,
My apologies for the delay in communicating, but the last couple of weeks have been a blur. We are in the midst of the funnel to winnow down the number of bills in the system. That means, if you don't have your bills done this week, they will not be considered this year or maybe ever. Luckily, my committee chairs blessed me with a number of priority bills to move through committees.
