Senate Resolution 1 - Introduced
SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1
BY COMMITTEE ON ETHICS
(SUCCESSOR TO SSB 1092)
A Resolution relating to the Senate Code of Ethics
governing the conduct of members of the Senate in
relation to their senatorial duties during the
Eighty-ninth General Assembly.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, That the Senate Code
of Ethics for the Eighty-eighth Eighty-ninth General
Assembly shall be amended to read as follows:
SENATE CODE OF ETHICS
PREAMBLE. Every legislator owes a duty to uphold
the integrity and honor of the general assembly, to
encourage respect for the law and for the general
assembly and the members thereof, and to observe the
legislative code of ethics.
In doing so, members of the senate have a duty to
conduct themselves so as to reflect credit on the
general assembly, and to inspire the confidence,
respect, and trust of the public, and to strive to
avoid both unethical and illegal conduct and the
appearance of unethical and illegal conduct.
Recognizing that service in the Iowa general
assembly is a part-time endeavor and that members of
the general assembly are honorable individuals who
are active in the affairs of their localities and
elsewhere and that it is necessary that they maintain
a livelihood and source of income apart from their
legislative compensation, the following rules are
adopted pursuant to section 68B.31, to assist the
-1-
LSB 1910SV (1) 89
jh/tm 1/ 24

S.R. 1
members in the conduct of their legislative affairs.
1. ECONOMIC INTEREST OF SENATOR. Taking into
account that legislative service is part-time, a
senator shall not accept economic or investment
opportunity, under circumstances where the senator
knows, or should know, that there is a reasonable
possibility that the opportunity is being afforded the
senator with intent to influence the senator’s conduct
in the performance of official duties.
2. DIVESTITURE. Where a senator learns that
an economic or investment opportunity previously
accepted was offered with the intent of influencing
the senator’s conduct in the performance of official
duties, the senator shall take steps to divest that
senator of that investment or economic opportunity, and
shall report the facts of the situation to the senate
ethics committee.
3. CHARGES FOR SERVICES. A senator shall not
charge to or accept from a person, corporation,
partnership, or association known to have a legislative
interest a price, fee, compensation, or other
consideration for the sale or lease of any property or
the furnishing of services which is in excess of that
which the senator would charge another.
4. USE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. A senator in
order to further the senator’s own economic or other
interests, or those of any other person, shall not
disclose or use confidential information acquired in
the course of official duties.
5. HONORARIA. A senator shall not accept an
-2-
LSB 1910SV (1) 89
jh/tm 2/ 24

S.R. 1
honorarium from a restricted donor for a speech,
writing for publication, or other similar activity,
except as otherwise provided in section 68B.23.
6. EMPLOYMENT. A senator shall not accept
employment, either directly or indirectly, from a
political action committee or from an organization
exempt from taxation under section 501(c)(4),
501(c)(6), or 527 of the Internal Revenue Code that
engages in activities related to the nomination,
election, or defeat of a candidate for public office.
A senator may accept employment from a political
party, but shall disclose the employment relationship
in writing to the secretary of the senate within ten
days after the beginning of each legislative session.
If a senator accepts employment from a political
party during a legislative session, the senator shall
disclose the employment relationship within ten days
after acceptance of the employment.
For the purpose of this rule, a political action
committee means a committee, but not a candidate’s
committee, which accepts contributions, makes
expenditures, or incurs indebtedness in the aggregate
of more than one thousand dollars in any one calendar
year to expressly advocate the nomination, election, or
defeat of a candidate for public office or to expressly
advocate the passage or defeat of a ballot issue or
influencing legislative action, or an association,
lodge, society, cooperative, union, fraternity,
sorority, educational institution, civic organization,
labor organization, religious organization, or
-3-
LSB 1910SV (1) 89
jh/tm 3/ 24

S.R. 1
professional organization which makes contributions in
the aggregate of more than one thousand dollars in any
one calendar year to expressly advocate the nomination,
election, or defeat of a candidate for public office or
ballot issue or influencing legislative action.
7. ECONOMIC INTERESTS OF LOBBYIST. With the
exception of exercising unfettered discretion in
supporting or refusing to support proposed legislation,
a senator shall not take action intended to affect the
economic interests of a lobbyist or citizen supporting
or opposing proposed legislation.
8. APPEARANCE BEFORE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. A
senator may appear before a governmental agency or
board in any representation case, except that the
senator shall not act as a lobbyist. Whenever a
senator appears before a governmental agency or board,
the senator shall carefully avoid all conduct which
might in any way lead members of the general public
to conclude that the senator is using the senator’s
official position to further the senator’s professional
success or personal financial interest.
9. CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS. In order to permit the
general assembly to function effectively, a senator
will sometimes be required to vote on bills and
participate in committee work which will affect the
senator’s employment and other monetary interests. In
making a decision relative to the senator’s activity on
given bills or committee work which are subject to the
code, the following factors shall be considered:
a. Whether a substantial threat to the senator’s
-4-
LSB 1910SV (1) 89
jh/tm 4/ 24

S.R. 1
independence of judgment has been created by the
conflict situation.
b. The effect of the senator’s participation on
public confidence in the integrity of the legislature.
c. The need for the senator’s particular
contribution, such as special knowledge of the
subject matter, to the effective functioning of the
legislature.
10. GIFTS. Except as otherwise provided in section
68B.22, a senator, or that person’s immediate family
member, shall not, directly or indirectly, accept or
receive any gift or series of gifts from a restricted
donor.
11. DISCLOSURE REQUIRED. Each senator shall file
with the secretary of the senate within ten days after
the adoption of the code of ethics by the senate, and
within ten days after the convening of the second
session of the general assembly, a statement under
section 68B.35 on forms provided by the secretary of
the senate setting forth the following information:
The nature of each business in which the senator
is engaged and the nature of the business of each
company in which the senator has a financial interest.
A senator shall not be required to file a report or
be assumed to have a financial interest if the annual
income derived from the investment in stocks, bonds,
bills, notes, mortgages, or other securities offered
for sale through recognized financial brokers is less
than one thousand dollars.
Disclosures required under this rule shall be as
-5-
LSB 1910SV (1) 89
jh/tm 5/ 24

S.R. 1
of the date filed unless provided to the contrary,
and shall be amended to include interests and changes
encompassed by this rule that occur while the general
assembly is in session. All filings under this rule
shall be open to public inspection in the office of the
secretary of the senate at all reasonable times.
The secretary of the senate shall inform the
ethics committee of the statements which are filed
and shall report to the ethics committee the names of
any senators who appear not to have filed complete
statements. The chairperson of the ethics committee
shall request in writing that a senator who has failed
to complete the report or appears to have filed an
incomplete report do so within five days, and, upon
the failure of the senator to comply, the ethics
committee shall require the senator to appear before
the committee.
12. STATUTORY VIOLATIONS. Members of the general
assembly are urged to familiarize themselves with
chapters 68B, 721, and 722.
12A. HARASSMENT —— RETALIATION. Senators,
lobbyists, and clients of lobbyists shall not engage
in conduct that constitutes harassment or retaliation
as provided in the personnel guidelines for the Iowa
Senate.
12B. DISCRIMINATION —— HARASSMENT —— ABUSE. As
provided and defined in the personnel guidelines of the
Iowa Senate, a senator shall not engage in any act of
discrimination, harassment, or abuse of any person.

LSB 1910SV (1) 89
jh/tm 6/ 24

S.R. 1
amount or item to any charge account to be paid for by
any lobbyist or any client the lobbyist represents.
14. TRAVEL EXPENSES. A senator shall not charge
to the state of Iowa amounts for travel and expenses
unless the senator actually has incurred those mileage
and expense costs. Senators shall not file the
vouchers for weekly mileage reimbursement required
by section 2.10, subsection 1, unless the travel
was actually incurred at commensurate expense to the
senator.
15. COMPLAINTS. Complaints or charges against
any senator or any lobbyist shall be in writing, made
under penalty of perjury, and filed with the secretary
of the senate. When filed with the secretary of the
senate, the secretary shall immediately advise the
chairperson of the ethics committee of the receipt of
the complaint.
Complaint forms shall be available from the
secretary of the senate, or the chairperson of the
ethics committee, but a complaint shall not be rejected
for failure to use an approved form if the complaint
substantially complies with senate requirements.
A complainant may submit exhibits and affidavits
attached to the complaint.
16. FILING OF COMPLAINTS.
a. Persons entitled. Complaints may be filed by any
person believing that a senator, lobbyist, or client
of a lobbyist has violated the senate ethics code,
the joint rules governing lobbyists, or chapter 68B.
A violation of the criminal law may be considered to
-7-
LSB 1910SV (1) 89
jh/tm 7/ 24

S.R. 1
be a violation of this code of ethics if the violation
constitutes a serious misdemeanor or greater, or a
repetitive and flagrant violation of the law.
b. Committee complaint. The ethics committee
may, upon its own motion, initiate a complaint,
investigation, or disciplinary action.
17. PERMANENT RECORD. The secretary of the senate
shall maintain a permanent record of all complaints
filed, evidence received by the committee, and any
transcripts or other recordings made of committee
proceedings, including a separate file containing
the date filed, name and address of the complainant,
name and address of the respondent, a brief statement
of the charges made, and ultimate disposition of
the complaint. The secretary shall keep each such
complaint confidential until public disclosure is made
by the ethics committee.
18. PREHEARING PROCEDURE.
a. Defective complaint. Upon receipt of a
complaint, the chairperson and ranking member of the
ethics committee shall determine whether the complaint
substantially complies with the requirements of this
code of ethics and section 68B.31, subsection 6. If
the complaint does not substantially comply with
the requirements for formal sufficiency under the
code of ethics, the complaint may be returned to the
complainant with a statement that the complaint is not
in compliance with the code and a copy of the code. If
the complainant fails to amend the complaint to comply
with the code within a reasonable time, the chairperson

jh/tm 8/ 24

S.R. 1

prejudice for failure to prosecute.
b. Service of complaint on respondent. Upon

with the requirements of this code of ethics, the

delivered promptly to the respondent, requesting a
written response to be filed within ten days. At the

violation of chapter 68B, the joint rules governing
lobbyists, or the code of ethics.
(3) Object to the jurisdiction of the committee.
(4) Request a more specific statement of the
allegation or allegations.
c. Objection to member. In addition to the
items which may be included in a response pursuant
to paragraph “b”, the response may also include an
objection to the participation of any member of the
committee in the consideration of the allegation or
allegations on the grounds that the member cannot
render an impartial and unbiased decision.
d. Extension of time. At the request of the
respondent and upon a showing of good cause, the
-9-

S.R. 1
committee, or the chairperson and ranking member,
may extend the time for response, not to exceed ten
additional days.

otherwise made public by the complainant, the members
of the committee and legislative staff assigned to
the ethics committee shall treat the complaint and
all supporting information as confidential until the
written response is received from the respondent.
f. Communications with ethics committee. After a
complaint has been filed or an investigation has been

action will be taken, unless further substantiating
information is produced.
(2) Dismiss the complaint for failure to meet the
statutory and code of ethics requirements for valid
complaints.
(3) Take action on the complaint without requesting

if the committee determines the complaint is valid

violation. The committee may do any of the following:

conduct that formed the basis for the complaint and to

of the hearing date and time shall be given to the
complainant and respondent in writing, and of the

examine and cross-examine witnesses. The committee
shall not be bound by formal rules of evidence, but
shall receive relevant evidence, subject to limitations
on repetitiveness. Any evidence taken shall be under
oath.
b. Subpoena power. The committee may require, by
subpoena or otherwise, the attendance and testimony of
witnesses and the production of such books, records,
correspondence, memoranda, papers, documents, and any
other things it deems necessary to the conduct of the
inquiry.

jh/tm 12/ 24

S.R. 1
the time of violation.
d. Disqualification of member. Members of the
committee may disqualify themselves from participating

cannot render an impartial and unbiased decision
in a case. A member may also be disqualified by a
unanimous vote of the remaining eligible members of the
committee.
A member of the committee is ineligible to
participate in committee meetings, as a member of the
committee, in any proceeding relating to the member’s
own official conduct.
If a member of the committee is disqualified or
ineligible to act, the majority or minority leader who
appointed the member shall appoint a replacement member
to serve as a member of the committee during the period
of disqualification or ineligibility.
e. Hearing. At the hearing, the chairperson shall
open the hearing by stating the charges, the purpose of
the hearing, and its scope. The burden of proof rests

senator. The chairperson shall also permit questioning
by legal counsel representing the complainant or
respondent.

presiding at a hearing shall rule upon procedural
-13-

questions or any question of admissibility of evidence
presented to the committee. Rulings may be reversed by
a majority vote of the committee members present.

evidence and arguments, the committee shall consider
the same and recommend to the senate any of the

action.
20. COMMITTEE AUTHORIZED TO MEET. The senate
ethics committee is authorized to meet at the
discretion of the chairperson to conduct hearings and
other business that properly may come before it. If
the committee submits a report seeking senate action
against a senator, lobbyist, or client of a lobbyist
after the second regular session of a general assembly
has adjourned sine die, the report shall be submitted
to and considered by the subsequent general assembly.
-14-

jh/tm 14/ 24

S.R. 1
However, the report may be submitted to and considered
during any special session which may take place after
the second regular session of a general assembly has
adjourned sine die, but before the convening of the
next general assembly.
21. ADVISORY OPINIONS.
a. Requests for formal opinions. A request for a
formal advisory opinion may be filed by any person who
is subject to the authority of the ethics committee.
The ethics committee may also issue a formal advisory
opinion on its own motion, without having previously
received a formal request for an opinion, on any issue
that is within the jurisdiction of the committee.
Requests shall be filed with either the secretary of
the senate or the chairperson of the ethics committee.
b. Form and contents of requests. A request for
a formal advisory opinion shall be in writing and
may pertain to any subject matter that is related
to the application of the senate code of ethics, the
joint rules governing lobbyists, or chapter 68B to
any person who is subject to the authority of the
ethics committee. Requests shall contain one or
more specific questions and shall relate either to
future conduct or be stated in the hypothetical. A
request for an advisory opinion shall not specifically
name any individual or contain any other specific
identifying information, unless the request relates
to the requester’s own conduct. However, any request
may contain information which identifies the kind
of individual who may be affected by the subject
-15-
LSB 1910SV (1) 89
jh/tm 15/ 24

S.R. 1
matter of the request. Examples of this latter kind
of identifying information may include references to
conduct of a category of individuals, such as but not
limited to conduct of legislators, legislative staff,
lobbyists, or clients of lobbyists.
c. Confidentiality of formal requests and opinions.
Requests for formal opinions are not confidential and
any deliberations of the committee regarding a request
for a formal opinion shall be public. Opinions issued
in response to requests for formal opinions are not
confidential, shall be in writing, and shall be placed
on file in the office of the secretary of the senate.
Persons requesting formal opinions shall personally
receive a copy of the written formal opinion that is
issued in response to the request.
22. CALCULATION OF TIME —— DAYS. For purposes of
these rules, unless the context otherwise requires,
