The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the Constitution of the State of Iowa by introducing a new section that limits the number of bills a member of the general assembly can sponsor as the lead sponsor to ten per session. This limitation is intended to streamline the legislative process and ensure that members do not overwhelm the system with an excessive number of bills. However, the amendment specifies that it does not apply to simple, concurrent, or joint resolutions, appropriations bills, bills recommended by the Iowa code editor, or bills certified as emergency legislation by the relevant committees. Additionally, members can still be listed as additional sponsors on an unlimited number of bills.

If adopted, the resolution will be published and referred to the next general assembly for consideration. Following this, it will be submitted to the electorate for ratification. The resolution aims to enhance legislative efficiency while maintaining flexibility for members in their sponsorship roles.
