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.

This bill requires Iowa's state transportation commission to have seven members, each appointed to represent one of seven defined regions of the state and residing within that region. The bill divides Iowa into seven specific county regions (e.g., Region 1 includes Buena Vista, Clay, and Dickinson counties) and mandates that commissioners must live in their assigned region. If a commissioner no longer resides in their region, they automatically resign, and the vacancy is filled per existing rules. The bill applies to new appointments made after enactment and takes effect immediately.
