A bill for an act relating to legislative clerks of members of the house of representatives.

HF 2594 allows each Iowa House of Representatives member to hire a legislative clerk who works under their direction and the chief clerk's oversight. The bill requires clerks to be on duty 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and other days as needed by the chief clerk, updating current rules that only required Monday-Thursday sessions. It also specifies that the chief clerk of the House determines the clerks' pay rate. This procedural bill directly affects House members and their staff by standardizing clerk work schedules and compensation authority.
