Bill > HJR2003

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Iowa State Constitution to explicitly grant individuals the right to donate, transfer, or leave their private property to any government entity (public entity) or a nonprofit organization. This means that if approved, the constitution would clearly state that people have the freedom to give their property away to these types of organizations, whether through a gift during their lifetime or as part of their will (devise). The resolution outlines the process for this amendment, requiring it to be published and then approved by the next session of the Iowa General Assembly before being put to a vote by the public for final ratification.
