Twelfth Week of the 2025 Legislative Session
During the twelfth week of the 2025 legislative session, we reached our second major legislative deadline of the year. The week was focused on reviewing House bills in subcommittees and committees, ensuring we concentrated our efforts on bills with enough support to progress. This kept us busy as we worked through the legislation, met with stakeholders, and interacted with constituents who visited the Capitol.
Hello, Iowa House District 84 from the State Capitol!

Eleventh Week of the 2025 Legislative Session
As we continued with floor debate in the 11th week of session, we passed several policies that have been in public discussion for a while. One of these was a priority of Governor Kim Reynolds and an issue we have discussed many times over the last several weeks. House File 782 is the Governor’s proposal on cell phones in schools. It requires schools to adopt policies that regulate and restrict cell phone use by students during school hours and in the classroom.
