A joint resolution designating the American cream draft horse as the official state horse of the State of Iowa.
This bill designates the American cream draft horse as Iowa's official state horse. It requires the state records commission to display images of the breed in the Iowa State Historical Museum and mandates that the Iowa official register include a photo and description alongside existing state symbols like the state flower and bird. The resolution does not create new laws or affect policy, but formally adds the breed to Iowa's official state emblems.
