Thanks to an online subscription service offered by the Legislative Services Agency (LSA), there is now an easy way for citizens to follow bills and administrative rules through Iowa’s legislative process.
The "Bills & Rules Watch" subscription service is available to anyone who visits https://www.legis.iowa.gov/subscribe and sets up an account. Users can then elect to follow bills and rules; subscribe to legislation, rule makings and publications by topic or category; maintain collections; and receive email notification when the status of watched bills and rules change.
For example, individuals who are interested in legislation that may affect older Iowans could use the service to track bills that pertain to specific topics (e.g., Medicare, veterans affairs, estate tax) or categories (e.g., Health, Human Services).
