Over the past nine years, Governor Reynolds has had a strong focus on the safety and security of Iowans. The Governor intends to codify executive action she has already taken and build on it, so that all Iowans can continue to build a life in safety and security.
Throughout her tenure, Governor Reynolds has also stood boldly against antisemitism. This year, the Governor aims to take the next step: codifying her executive order addressing antisemitism in Iowa’s schools to ensure our state never turns a blind eye to it.
Governor Reynolds Propose:
- Codifying Executive Order 15 on SAVE and E-Verify, requiring by law that state departments confirm employment eligibility and verify immigration status or citizenship.
- Establishing a rebuttable presumption of no bail for all charges of forcible felony and non-simple misdemeanor charges for illegal immigrants.
- Requiring everyone registering to vote to swear he or she is a U.S. citizen and recategorizes the crime of election misconduct as a Class D Felony.
- Codifying Executive Order 13 on antisemitism, requiring an annual report on all antisemitic actions from the Regent Universities, community colleges, and public K-12 schools.
