Bill > SJR2002

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Iowa Constitution to eliminate the power of judicial review, which is the authority of courts to determine if laws passed by the legislature are consistent with the Constitution. The proposed amendment would vest judicial power in the Supreme Court and other lower courts but explicitly state that this power does not include reviewing laws for their constitutionality, with a narrow exception for the Supreme Court's review of legislative apportionment plans. This amendment, if passed by the current General Assembly, would then be referred to the next General Assembly for another vote before being put to the voters for final approval.
