There Oughta Be A Law!

• At the conference registration table, attendees will have an opportunity to submit written ideas for laws they would like to see passed by the Iowa General Assembly. Staff will collate the ideas and, at the start of the session, attendees will vote on which proposals merit discussion. Then an open discussion will take place on the most worthy proposals submitted. This is intended to be a grass roots exercise in identifying critical issues in traffic safety that could be addressed by legislation.
