A bill for an act adopting a state dictionary.

SF 2165 adopts the Oxford English Dictionary as Iowa's official state dictionary for use in state government documents. It specifically excludes tourism, commerce, public health, language education, and official communications by state government members or legislators from this adoption. This is a procedural bill with no direct impact on public policy or services, as it only designates a reference standard for state government use. The bill is currently in committee review after introduction in January 2026.
