1 1 Amend Senate File 165, as amended, passed, and
1 2 reprinted by the Senate, as follows:
1 3 #1. Page 1, by inserting after line 29 the
1 4 following:
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."
