Legislative Highlights and Bills of Interest -- 2000

Here are the bills I am tracking for Sierra Club, Iowa Chapter, so far
introduced during the 2000 Session with actions occurring accumulated in the
narrative. Note that I include the Bill #, Bill Title, and some notes of
milestones. These are the bills which made it through the Funnel Deadline
for bills to be out of committee, and that have been printed. A few more
will show up this week in print for the first time.

Appropriations bills are now introduced and moving. Bills having passed and
gone to the Governor appear first in the lists.

DISCLAIMER

I do know this is a long listing of bills. Future reports will not include
the lengthy descriptions, except for new bills. I apologize for the length,
but it is comprehensive.

Let me know how I can make this missal a more useful and informative
document. I will be adding other narrative information as issues develop and
as I gather it.

URL ADDRESS

Following the Number, Title and Notes on each bill is the URL Address for
the bill history and text on the Legislature's website. You should be able
to double-click on the URL and be taken, in your web browser, to the bill's
history page, where you will also find a link to the bill text, near the top
of the page.

Thanks.
