How to search for measures: Bill-searching: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/. Note, you will never get more than 100 hits returned(!): 'Searches are limited to a maximum of 100 [hits returned].

Iowa

The legislature is not currently in (any regular) session.

How to search for measures: There are almost too many tools here for finding measures; but some are better for some things than are others. For resolutions, probably the fastest route is via the "Find Legislation" page, on which use the links under the heading "Find a Resolution": https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/findLegislation. For bills (which are called "files"), if you know its number you can use that same page; otherwise use either the Subject listing, at https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/current/publications/BSI/current.pdf, or the "Directory of Legislation", at https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/billTracking/directory.

Committee meetings link: Links to all legislative committees: https://www.legis.iowa.gov/committees. Scheduled committee meetings are also here: https://www.legis.iowa.gov/committees/meetings.
