Bill Summary
A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa relating to the right of the people to keep and bear arms. (Formerly HJR 3.)
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the Iowa State Constitution to explicitly protect the right to keep and bear arms, stating that this right shall not be infringed and is a fundamental individual right recognized by the state of Iowa. It further mandates that any restrictions on this right must undergo "strict scrutiny," a legal standard requiring a compelling government interest and narrowly tailored means to justify limitations. This proposed amendment, formerly known as HJR 3, will be referred to the next general assembly for a second approval before being put to a vote by the public for ratification.
