This bill amends the Iowa rules of criminal procedure to establish a specific timeline for bringing defendants to trial. It mandates that defendants must be tried within 120 days following an indictment or a change in venue, a revision from the current unspecified timeline. The bill also requires that these revised rules be submitted to the legislative council for review by October 14, 2025.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes its immediate importance by stating that it will take effect upon enactment. This change aims to enhance the right to a speedy trial within the Iowa judicial system.
