    IOWA LEGISLATIVE ALERT Issue: The Iowa Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition will hold a Lobbying Workshop and legislator visit on February 22nd, 2017. Points of Contact: Using the list attached to this alert, along with the action alert, contact your elected Representative and Senator. Others that are helpful to contact: • House Speaker: Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake: [email protected] • House Majority Leader: Chris Hagenow, R-Windsor Heights: [email protected] • House Minority Leader: Mark Smith, D-Marshalltown: [email protected] • Senate President: Jack Whitver, R-Ankeny: [email protected] • Senate Majority Leader: Bill Dix, R-Shell Rock: [email protected] • Senate Minority Leader: Robert Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids: [email protected] Analysis Iowa law licenses dietitians for the providing of nutrition assessment, goal setting, counseling, or advice. There is an exemption in the law for licensed physicians and surgeons, nurses, chiropractors, dentists, dental hygienists, pharmacists or physical therapists that make dietetic or nutritional assessments, or give dietetic or nutritional advice in the normal practice of their profession or as otherwise authorized by law. However there is no such exemption for holistic nutrition professionals. The Iowa Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition will be holding a Lobbying Workshop along with meetings with key legislators. Recommendations We should politely disrupt the legislative day and urge policymakers to consider finding ways to open up the practice of nutrition. Specifically, we should call attention to parts of the law that are anticompetitive, and encourage them to investigate whether licensure of dietetics prevents competition, by creating a monopoly for a single profession.

  • Freedom Starts Here 2018 VOTER’S GUIDE Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’S Guide
    Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC Freedom Starts Here 2018 VOTER’S GUIDE Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’s Guide What’s At Stake In The 2018 Elections Elections matter. We only have to look back a few years to see what the difference is between having a Pro-Second Amendment majority and having anti-gunners in charge in Des Moines. We spent years passing good gun bills in the Iowa House only to see them die in committee in Mike Gronstal and Rob Hogg’s Senate. The Iowa Firearms Coalition (IFC) went to work in 2016 and helped flip the Iowa Senate. What difference did it make? In 2017, Iowa passed the most significant Pro-Second Amendment bill in Iowa history. HF-517 accomplishments include: • Short Barreled Rifles/Shotguns • Permit Privacy • Preemption • Stand Your Ground • Emergency Powers • Capitol Carry • Supervised Youth Handgun Shooting • Permit Renewal Improvements • Uniform Permit Format In 2018, we took the first steps necessary to recognize - under strict scrutiny - the right to keep and bear arms into the Iowa Constitution. These successes only happened “ because of the support and “ activism of people like you! Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’s Guide Not everyone was happy with these improvements in Iowa law. In fact, we saw an unprecedented number of gun-control proposals made in the Iowa Legislature during the last General Assembly. Anti-gun bills included: • HF-2145 Reverts to “May Issue” Weapons Permits • HF-2181 Imposes a ban on private firearm transfers • HF-2180 Extreme Risk Protective Orders • SF-2025 Gun Free Zone Enforcement • HF-157 Semiautomatic Assault Weapon Ban These ridiculous gun-control measures never saw the floor for debate because the anti-gunners didn’t control either chamber.

  • Discriminatory Policing What the Bill Proposes
    SF 2173 & HF 2376: Discriminatory Policing What the Bill proposes: 1. Prohibits officers from engaging in discriminatory policing. 2. Creation of a Community Policing Advisory Board. 3. Requires officers to inform people of their right to file a complaint with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission if they believe they’ve been profiled. 4. Collect and analyze data. 5. Training law enforcement. Why the legislation is needed: • An ideal discriminatory policing bill should do the following things: 1) Define “profiling” in a comprehensive way that includes all impacted groups; 2) Require data collection that is based on officer perception of a person’s race, gender, age, and nationality; 3) Create an independent review board that can review and adjudicate individual complaints of racial profiling; and 4) Create a private right of action for individuals who believe they have been the victim of racial profiling. • Iowa is one of 20 states that doesn’t have a state law prohibiting discriminatory policing. The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing and U.S. Department of Justice provided recommendation that law enforcement agencies prohibit profiling based on race, gender, national origin, religion, and sexual orientation. • Transparency and accountability improve police-community relations. Creating a system where data on law enforcement stops is collected and reported regularly and establishing a solution-driven advisory board are ways to enhance police accountability and transparency. • Profiling is an ineffective public safety tool. Stopping people based on race or other identity characteristics, rather than on evidence of criminal activity, misdirects limited resources away from evidence-based policing. Preventing profiling facilitates efficient pursuit of people who pose a threat to public safety.
