  1  5    "In designating the English language as the
  1  6 official language of the state for such reports and
  1  7 publications, it is not the intent of the general
  1  8 assembly to discriminate in any way against recent
  1  9 immigrants from other countries who have not yet
  1 10 achieved a working command of the English language.
  1 11 Instead, the intent of the general assembly is to
  1 12 assist such individuals in achieving an autonomous
  1 13 existence as a citizen of the state of Iowa by
  1 14 encouraging the rapid and successful transition toward
  1 15 the ability to functionally utilize the English
  1 16 language."
