Legislator wants to repeal every single law - Sierra Magazine

What if I told you that every single law would disappear from the books over a 10-year time frame? Preposterous, you might say. But an Iowa legislature envisions a time when every single law is simply repealed.

Representative John Wills has introduced a bill (HF2011) that would repeal every single Iowa law over a 10-year period. Furthermore, the cycle would be repeated every 10 years thereafter. The only way that the law remain on the books would be for both the Iowa House and Iowa Senate to pass the bill and for the Governor to sign the bill into law. If the two chambers and governor could not agree, then the bill would simply disappear. Bills related to the environment, taxes, education, public health, criminal laws, and many other areas, would simply disappear.

Talk about chaos. Talk about uncertainty and the effect that will have on businesses who repeat the mantra that they want certainty. Talk about disrespect for the institutions of government and smooth functioning of that government.

This is a bill that should simply be rejected.
