Summary#
HCR 106 is an Iowa House concurrent resolution; it does not create or amend a statute. It would make an adjournment on Friday, October 2, 2026, the final adjournment of the 2026 Extraordinary Session of the Ninety-first General Assembly. The resolution’s purpose is to set that session’s final adjournment date.
- The rule would apply only if an adjournment occurred on October 2.
- It says that adjournment would be final; it does not itself direct lawmakers to adjourn that day.
- The supplied status says the resolution was introduced and laid over. The materials do not show that it was adopted.
What it means for you#
- Legislators: If the legislature adjourned on October 2, that would be the final adjournment of the extraordinary session under the resolution.
- Iowa residents: The resolution does not directly change individual rights, benefits, taxes, or services. Its effect is on the session’s formal ending.

Case for#
