2008 Iowa Legislature adjourns for the year

April 26, 2008 By admin

The 2008 Iowa legislative session concluded early Saturday.  The Senate adjourned at 2:32 a.m. and the House followed nine minutes later.

One of the final acts of the House was to reject a Senate-led bid to assist Iowans who believe they’ve been denied access to public information, or who believe a city council, county board of supervisors or other government body has violated Iowa’s open meetings law.  The proposal was part of a government openness effort launched two years ago when a pay scandal erupted at a central Iowa job training agency.  Secrecy questions surrounding the University of Iowa’s recent search for a new president also sparked concerns.
