A bill for an act adopting a state dictionary.
SF 416 adopts the Oxford English Dictionary as Iowa's official state dictionary under Code section 1.18. This bill does not apply to commerce, public health and safety, education, or government communication, meaning the dictionary adoption primarily affects state legal and administrative terminology without altering existing policies in those areas.
