PAG LIN 1 1 HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 1 2 BY CHURCHILL 1 3 (Companion to LSB 1032SS by Iverson) 1 4 A Concurrent Resolution inviting the Iowa congressional 1 5 delegation to address a joint session of the Iowa 1 6 General Assembly regarding unfunded federal mandates. 1 7 WHEREAS, the number of unfunded federal mandates 1 8 imposed upon the states by the United States Congress 1 9 has increased in recent years; and 1 10 WHEREAS, the continuous imposition of mandates 1 11 places Iowa and her sister states in the precarious 1 12 position of either attempting to fund the federal 1 13 requirements with diminishing amounts of available 1 14 revenue and thereby causing reductions in other state 1 15 services or jeopardizing eligibility for certain 1 16 federal funds; and 1 17 WHEREAS, states and the United States Congress 1 18 should engage in discussions regarding the difficult 1 19 posture in which the states have been cast and the 1 20 urgent necessity of the states to receive monetary 1 21 assistance for these mandates or relief from the 1 22 enforcement of these unfunded decrees; and 1 23 WHEREAS, the members of the Iowa General Assembly 1 24 desire to communicate with the Iowa congressional 1 25 delegation in person concerning this critical problem 1 26 so that the delegation may become completely cognizant 1 27 of the effect the actions of the federal government 1 28 have at the state legislative level and may become 1 29 more sensitive to the difficulties unfunded federal 1 30 mandates create; NOW THEREFORE, 2 1 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THE 2 2 SENATE CONCURRING, That all members of the Iowa 2 3 congressional delegation be respectfully called upon 2 4 to appear before a joint session of the Iowa General 2 5 Assembly to discuss their votes on federal mandates 2 6 and the problems related to unfunded federal mandates. 2 7 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Chief Clerk of the 2 8 House of Representatives send copies of this 2 9 Resolution to each member of the Iowa congressional 2 10 delegation. 2 11 LSB 1032HH 76 2 12 sc/jj/8.1
