This bill establishes a new section regarding the numbering of legislative bills and resolutions introduced in the Iowa General Assembly. It mandates that once a bill or resolution is assigned a file number, it must retain that number throughout the entire legislative process, without being assigned any additional file numbers during committee consideration or debate in either chamber. The bill clarifies that this requirement does not restrict the ability of legislators or committees to amend or substitute the bill or resolution.

Additionally, the bill directs the legislative council and legislative services agency to create necessary policies and procedures to implement these provisions, which may include updates to bill tracking systems and legislative reporting mechanisms. The bill is deemed of immediate importance and takes effect upon enactment.
