Bar investment connected to Chinese government or military

SF418: An act relating to the investment of certain public funds in companies that are owned or controlled by Chinese military or government services.

Iowa Capital Dispatch, 5/5/23: The measure requires firms to consult a list of scrutinized companies involved with the People's Republic of China, and places restrictions on investments in these companies. Supporters said Iowa's trade with China in areas like agriculture & computer chips will not be hurt.

Capital Dispatch, 2/22/23: Iowa & China have a connection stretching back to the mid-1980s. Then-Gov. Terry Branstad said, "The Legislature needs to protect our interests, but not prevent economic development opportunities that will create good jobs. Protect our national security and our technology--other than that, normal investments ought to be encouraged.""

Legislative Outcome:Passed Senate 49-1-0 on Mar/22/23; passed House 95-0-5 on Apr/19/23; Rep. Sherman voted YES; signed by Gov. Reynolds on

Congressional report on hate speech in Palestinian textbooks

A bipartisan group of lawmakers reintroduced the Peace and Tolerance in Palestinian Education Act. The bill requires the Secretary of State to submit a report to Congress reviewing textbooks produced by the Palestinian Authority. Rep. Brad Sherman sponsored the bill along with Lee Zeldin, Josh Gottheimer, Brian Mast and David Trone. There are concerns that such textbooks "include language and imagery that encourage violence and hatred toward other nations and ethnic groups," Sherman said.
