Iowa Passes Campaign Finance Bill and Adjourns

The overtime session of the General Assembly adjourned sine die on May 3 after lawmakers worked 34 hours to wrap up and head home 12 days after their scheduled end date. The delay was due to disputes over property taxes and the state budget. Lawmakers passed House File 2601, which prohibits foreign nationals from contributing to ballot issue campaigns and requires committees to obtain certain affirmations from donors regarding foreign national status and source of contributions. Gov. Reynolds has 30 days to sign or veto the bill.
