Session reconvenes

The Iowa Legislature resumed our 2020 session at 9 a.m. Wednesday. We suspended the session in March in re-sponse to the coronavirus out-break.

Since then, nearly every aspect of our lives—at home, work, school, worship and play—has changed dramatical-ly. More than 20,000 Iowans have been infected with the virus, and more than 550 Io-wans have lost their lives. A record number of Iowans have filed for unemployment, and thousands have had their paychecks reduced.
