Legislative

The ACLU of Iowa Legislative Team engages in the legislative process to support bills that strengthen our constitutional rights and defeat bills that threaten them.

When the Iowa Legislature is in session January through April or May, we attend and speak at subcommittee and committee meetings at the statehouse. We also work directly with legislators and government officials.

To see the ACLU of Iowa’s position on a particular bill:

Go to the Iowa Legislature's web page for a listing of how the ACLU of Iowa has declared its positions on a single bill or all bills. (Type “ACLU” in the “Client Name” box.)
