The 2010 legislative session adjourned Tuesday afternoon sine die at 12:22 in the House and 12:48 in the Senate.
“Sine die” is a Latin phrase meaning, “without day” or, “without assigning a day for a further meeting.”
The final bill to get passed in both chambers was the Standings bill, HF2531.
Despite direct calls from the governor’s office to wavering senators, the trial-lawyer led effort to expand awards in wrongful death cases, HF758, did not pass the Iowa Senate, and it is now dead.
The session ended successfully during daylight hours on the 79th day this year. A year shortened to 80 days down from the usual 100 days to save the state money in the midst of hard economic times.
CSG is continuing to monitor bills that have passed both houses as they make their way down to the governor’s office.
