This bill amends the current law regarding the composition and residency requirements for members of the state transportation commission (STC) in Iowa. It establishes that the STC will consist of seven members, with no more than four from the same political party, and mandates that one member must be appointed to represent each of the seven designated regions of the state. Each appointed member is required to reside in the region they represent. The bill outlines the specific counties that comprise each of the seven regions.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision stating that if a member of the commission no longer resides in their designated region, they will be considered to have resigned from the commission, and the vacancy will be filled according to existing procedures. The bill is effective immediately upon enactment and applies to members appointed and confirmed after the effective date, with specific transition provisions for the first appointments representing each region.
