A bill for an act relating to regional representation and residency requirements for members of the state transportation commission, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

HF 599 requires Iowa's State Transportation Commission to have seven members, with one appointed to represent each of seven defined regions across the state. Each commissioner must reside in their designated region, and if they no longer live there, they must resign. The bill divides Iowa into seven specific regions (each containing multiple counties) and specifies that new appointments after the bill's effective date must follow a rotating regional order (e.g., first appointment represents Region 1). This change applies only to members appointed on or after the effective date, not current commissioners.
