In this episode of the Caffeinated Thoughts Podcast, Shane Vander Hart speaks with Dr. James Broughel with the Mercatus Center about regulatory reform.
Schultz: The Principle of Preemption Protects Your Right to Keep and Bear Arms
Jason Schultz: State law preempts, or comes before, local regulations so cities and counties cannot be more strict than Iowa law in the area of firearms.
Rogers: Advancing Freedom with Occupational Licensing Reform
Walt Rogers: Iowa’s occupational licensing reform law advances both freedom and opportunity. This reform tells the nation that Iowa is “open for business.”
Sandy Salmon: Iowa’s public health disaster emergency law is woefully lacking in protecting constitutional rights; it is, in fact, silent on that issue!

State Sen. Amy Sinclair: Iowa is strong. And it’s time for us to safely and responsibly show the rest of the nation that we are ready to meet the demands our role in the food supply chain require.
Even with uncertainty around COVID-19, AFP-Iowa is encouraged by some of the moves elected officials are taking to ensure greater levels of access to care.
