DON'T RELY ON THE LUCK O' THE IRISH

Although Irish in its roots, St. Patrick’s Day is most widely celebrated in the United States. To help keep Iowa’s roads safe, the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau is partnering with local law enforcement March 11-19, to spread the message about the dangers of impaired driving. Last year, during the week of St. Patrick’s Day, 48 people were either seriously injured or killed in car crashes on Iowa Roadways (March 11-March 19, 2022).

Hello District 84 from the State Capitol!

Hello District 84 from the State Capitol!It was a busy week as the Iowa House and Senate passed some very important bills. Senate File 75 passed both chambers nearly unanimous. This bill, in my opinion, will have a positive impact on health care in the rural areas of Iowa. It creates licensure for rural emergency hospitals, which will allow these facilities to be 24-hour emergency rooms but will not have acute inpatient care.

Week 9

Week nine has brought a lot of debate, as expected post-funnel. One of the bills debated and passed was SF 478. This legislation was created to prevent the State Auditor from accessing an individual's information that would reasonably be expected to be kept private. Examples of that private information would be medical and academic records, information not necessary for the State Auditor to conduct an audit.
