Iowa Republican lawmakers are advancing several bills that would rein in the governor's powers with the office up for the grabs in the 2026 midterm elections.
House Republicans on a three-member subcommittee on Monday, Feb. 16, moved forward House File 2413, which would require the General Assembly to sign off on any new major administrative rules that agencies use to implement various laws and reduce the length of gubernatorial appointees' terms to four years.
The legislation comes as Gov. Kim Reynolds has decided not to seek reelection this year, leaving the governor's race wide open.
GOP legislators who championed the measure said it would restore more legislative oversight in the rulemaking process. [emphasis added]
