Rule Changes Make Way for IA Governor Kim Reynolds’ School Choice Bill For Debate

The proposed rule means all bills that go through the newly formed House Education Reform Committee are exempt to the process. Normally, any proposals that involve state spending need to pass through each chamber’s Appropriations committee, but not this year.
