Iowa passes "three strikes" law mandating 20-year minimums for repeat offenders with three serious crime points, effective on future offenses.
The Iowa House passed a "three strikes" bill imposing a 20-year minimum sentence on repeat offenders who accumulate three points from serious crimes, excluding drug possession and theft.
The law, effective only on future offenses, limits point accumulation to crimes within the past 20 years and excludes multiple charges from a single incident.
Critics warn it could increase racial disparities, reduce judicial discretion, and strain resources, with projected annual costs of $164.9 million starting in 2031.
The bill now moves to the Senate for further review.
