A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa eliminating involuntary servitude as a punishment for crime.

This bill proposes amending Iowa's constitution to eliminate involuntary servitude as a legal punishment for crime. It replaces the current constitutional language by stating there shall be "no slavery, nor involuntary servitude" and allows courts or probation agencies to order community service or other alternatives to incarceration as part of sentencing. The change directly affects individuals convicted of crimes in Iowa, shifting sentencing options away from forced labor. If approved by voters, this constitutional amendment would take effect after the required election process.
