Bill of Rights Day in Iowa
From a supporter in Iowa comes the following good news
Hi,
Thought you’d like to know what we accomplished back
in 2002. Iowa now
has it’s own ‘Bill of Rights Day’ in Iowa Code. The Bill
passed both
houses on a unanimous vote and was signed by the Governor in 2002.
From Iowa Code:
*1C.13 Bill of Rights Day. *
The governor of this state is hereby authorized and requested to issue
annually a proclamation designating the fifteenth day of December as
Bill of Rights Day and to encourage all governmental bodies in the state
to observe the day in a manner that emphasizes the meaning and
importance of the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United
States, and encourage a formal recitation of the Bill of Rights in its
entirety in all schools, government meetings, and courtrooms on or about
that date.2002 Acts, ch 1053, §1

Click on ‘2005 Iowa Code’, then click on: ‘Code by Chapter’, then click on: ‘Chapter 1C Public Holidays and Recognition Days’, then click on: ‘1C.13 Bill of Rights Day’.
Thanks for giving us the inspiration to get this done.
