Bill > HF2141

This bill, titled the "Iowa-Illinois Boundary Adjustment Act," establishes a committee to explore the possibility of altering the border between Iowa and Illinois by potentially transferring one or more Illinois counties to Iowa. This committee will be comprised of six members appointed by the Iowa governor, who cannot be current lawmakers and must reflect political diversity, and five members appointed according to Illinois state law. The Iowa members will serve four-year terms, and the committee's initial meeting must occur by September 1, 2026, with at least one meeting held annually thereafter. The committee is tasked with submitting a report detailing its recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to both the Iowa and Illinois general assemblies (state legislatures) upon completing its work, after which the committee will be dissolved.
