Iowa lawmakers pass bill limiting governors' emergency powers, requiring legislative approval for key actions.
The Iowa House passed a bill restricting future governors' emergency powers, banning closures of places of worship, mandatory vaccinations, business shutdowns, and election changes without legislative approval.
It includes a "kill switch" allowing the Legislature to end emergency proclamations with a simple majority vote, even when not in session.
Supporters say it prevents overreach seen during the pandemic and restores constitutional balance; opponents warn it could hinder emergency responses.
The bill now moves to the Senate, where it faces further debate.
