Iowa's Attorney General proposes a constitutional amendment to allow child victims to give remote testimony.
Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird proposes a constitutional amendment to allow child victims to testify via closed-circuit television, rather than in person.
This comes after the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that remote testimony was unconstitutional, making Iowa the only state requiring in-person testimony.
Bird argues that remote testimony could reduce re-traumatization and increase the likelihood of prosecuting crimes against children.
The amendment needs approval from the legislature in two consecutive sessions before voters decide in 2028.
