A bill for an act relating to local laws implementing the Iowa civil rights Act of 1965.

This bill amends Iowa law to restrict cities and local governments from creating ordinances that provide broader anti-discrimination protections than the state's Civil Rights Act of 1965. It removes language allowing local governments to adopt stricter rules on unfair or discriminatory practices than the state law covers. The change requires all local ordinances to align strictly with the state's existing protections, which cover employment, housing, public accommodations, education, and credit based on protected characteristics. This directly affects cities and counties by limiting their ability to enact more expansive local anti-discrimination measures. The bill does not create new protections but ensures local laws do not exceed the scope of the state's civil rights framework.
