THAT MEANS THAT ALL THIS WEEK, ALL THE DIFFERENT PLANS AND IDEAS THAT LAWMAKERS HAVE HAD SO FAR THIS SESSION WILL ALL GET FUNNELED DOWN BY THE END OF THE WEEK. NOW, BY THIS FRIDAY. ALL BILLS HAVE TO MAKE IT OUT OF SUBCOMMITTEE AND COMMITTEE IN ORDER TO STAY ALIVE IN JUST ONE. AND THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT OUT OF SUBCOMMITTEE IN COMMITTEE IN JUST ONE CHAMBER IN ORDER TO STAY ALIVE. IF THEY DON’T DO THAT, THEY AUTOMATICALLY DIE AND LIKELY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE CONSIDERED AT ALL FOR THE REST OF SESSION. SOME BIG BILLS THAT WE’RE TRACKING THAT WOULD BE UP AGAINST THAT FEDERAL FINAL DEADLINE WOULD BE THE GOVERNOR’S EDUCATION BILL, WHICH WOULD LIMIT WHICH BOOKS KIDS CAN READ IN SCHOOL, HOW TEACHERS CAN TALK ABOUT LGBTQ TOPICS, AND WHAT INFORMATION THEY’LL BE REQUIRED TO SHARE WITH PARENTS. THERE’S ALSO A BILL THAT WOULD CHANGE IOWA’S CHILD LABOR LAWS, AND ANOTHER THAT WOULD PROVIDE PROTECTION FOR LANDOWNERS FROM CARBON CAPTURE PIPELINES. THOSE ARE ALSO BOTH UP AGAINST THE FINAL DEADLINE. THOS
