Last week, the Iowa Legislature began its 2012 session, which included Gov. Terry Branstad’s Condition of the State address, Chief Justice Mark Cady’s Condition of the Judicial Branch address and stacks of legislation that were introduced in the House and Senate.

The introduced legislation spans a number of topics including abortion, bedbugs and the prohibition of red-light cameras, among others. For some of the highlights from the legislation introduced last week and for events at the Capitol in the week ahead, check out iowastatedaily.net
