Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed a law to eliminate or consolidate dozens of state boards and commissions, reducing their number from 256 to 145. The reorganization aims to improve state government efficiency and allow more decisions by elected officials, while critics argue it may weaken civil rights protections and concentrate power under the governor. The legislation also establishes a committee to review and potentially alter or eliminate boards and commissions annually.
