IDA Legislative Committee
The Legislative Committee is a key part of the IDA’s advocacy efforts. The committee works directly with the IDA advocacy team to develop and advance the legislative priorities of the IDA. The committee meets annually during the summer to develop legislative recommendations for the IDA Board. During session, the Legislative Committee conducts weekly Zoom calls to help guide the IDA advocacy team on bills impacting dentists and their patients in the Iowa Legislature.
