A bill for an act relating to certain activities associated with foreign entities in the state, providing penalties, and making penalties applicable.

Summary

The bill stops Iowa agencies from buying or operating drones that are built by companies on a federal “covered” list and creates a felony for flying such drones near critical infrastructure. It also requires foreign principals and their agents to register with the state ethics board within 48 hours of lobbying and imposes daily civil fines for non‑compliance. Finally, it says treaties or guidelines from bodies like the UN have no legal effect in Iowa unless the legislature adopts them, and it orders agencies to review any agreements that might support foreign rules.
