Description | A legislative leader said Thursday it's "exceedingly unlikely" the Legislature will take up the issue of gay marriage this year, regardless of the outcome of an Iowa Supreme Court decision expected Friday.
Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said procedural rules would block the introduction of new legislation so late in the session. Gronstal estimates there are no more than two weeks to go in this session.
"From my perspective it would require a suspension of the joint rules," said Gronstal. "It's unlikely that will happen." |
