A bill for an act relating to the rules of statutory construction for the definition of a person.

SF 2357 defines the term "person" in Iowa law to explicitly include "an individual organism of the species homo sapiens at any stage of development from fertilization until natural death." This change applies whenever "person" is used in statutes or implied by context, affecting all laws that reference the term. The bill mandates that this definition cannot be challenged in court ("not subject to judicial review"). It directly impacts how Iowa statutes interpret legal terms related to rights, responsibilities, and protections under state law. The bill does not create new policies but alters the foundational meaning of "person" for statutory interpretation.
