Iowa Legislature

The Iowa Legislature is the state's law-making body, consisting of two parts: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Together, they create, amend, and pass laws that govern Iowa. Senators and representatives are elected by residents to represent their interests. The Legislature also approves budgets and oversees state programs. Its decisions impact education, healthcare, roads, and other public services. The process involves proposing bills, debating, and voting. This system ensures that elected officials make laws reflecting the needs and priorities of Iowa residents while maintaining checks and balances within state government.
