These are the bills I am tracking for Sierra Club, Iowa Chapter, so far during the 2001 session with actions occurring accumulated in the narrative. Note that I include the Bill #, Bill Title, and some notes of milestones, as well as the URL address. You should be able to just click on the URL Address to open your browser and take you to that bill. These bills continue to be eligible for action through the remainder of the Session, having survived the second funnel last week. Bills labeled HSB or SSB are study bills. They are in early draft form and would get a regular HF or SF number if a committee acts upon them. All other bills are introduced in their status is as reported in the Milestones paragraph. PRIORITIES. Obviously, one of our highest priorities for this year is the Bottle Deposit Bill expansion. It appears to be a dead¹ issue for this session. Several bills show up on that subject and both a House and a Senate bill came from the committees of origin, but have now been re-assigned to the House & Senate Ways and Means Committees. Action by the Senate W&M Committee is not expected, and by the House W&M Committee remains problematic at this time. We will keep you advised. FIRST & SECOND FUNNEL. The first deadline for the Session, March 16, was ³Funnel Day,² by which any bill had to be voted out of committee in its chamber of origin, to be alive¹ for the remainder of the Session. The exceptions to that rule are Appropriations and Ways & Means bills. Last week was the ³Second Funnel³, by which bills must have passed the first Chamber, and been voted out of committee in the second Chamber. Another frantic week! Today is the release of the new reapportionment maps for Congressional and Legislative districts. Legislators will be very dstracted today, considering their new districts, whether they were paired with another incumbent, perhaps even from their own party. BUDGET. The Governor¹s revised budget, reducing his earlier budget by $284.6 million dollars, has now been followed by the Republicans setting their budget targets. They intend to reduce his earliest budget by $342 million, or $57.4 million more than the Governor. Deep reductions will be occurring and we are there trying to protect what we can in environmental and natural resource funding.
