Good Bills Debated This Week
SF 2356 A bill that creates a healthcare information exchange. The system will offer information about each Iowa health center which would include; quality of care, cost of procedures, and health center specifications. This idea helps promote more transparency in health care and creates the opportunity for open competition amongst hospitals.
SF 2354 A bill that reforms campaign finance laws. The bill requires a vote of stock holders or unions on how much money should be spent on campaigns and who is receiving the money.
SF 2329 A bill that creates a study on what to do with the ICN network. Sell it, make it better or leave it the same. (I vote to sell it. Webinars are the new way to communicate)
SF 2197 A bill that creates a misdemeanor ticket if someone gives false information to police, firefighter, or medical care provider.
Bad Bills
HF 2318 Bill removing term limits on several government committees. I believe ALL offices should have term limits.
I Look forward to doing my work next week and watching Rock Valley and Hull Western Christian play some great basketball at the Wells Fargo Center.
