Bill Summary
Under current law, state sovereignty is subject to the United States’ rights to public lands or to an establishment of the national government. This bill modifies the limits of state sovereignty to make state sovereignty subject only to the United States’ rights to public lands or to military and naval establishments.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the existing language in Section 1.2 of the Iowa Code regarding state sovereignty, specifically by updating the description of potential federal limitations on state sovereignty. The bill adds the specific phrase "military or naval" when referring to federal establishments and removes the more general phrase "of the national government" when describing potential federal rights or limitations. The change appears to slightly narrow and clarify the circumstances under which federal rights might impact state sovereignty, potentially emphasizing military and naval installations as specific contexts where federal authority might intersect with state jurisdiction. While the modification seems subtle, it could have implications for how state sovereignty is legally interpreted, particularly in relation to federal military and naval properties within the state's boundaries.
