Annually in September, a two-day legislative session is held at the Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines, at which time O.I.L. delegates from across the state submit bills and share in the debate to select five priority bills. The top five priority bills are then submitted to the Iowa General Assembly and the members of the Older Iowans Legislature vigorously advocate for passage of the top five priority bills during the legislative session.
