This ICN presentation, sponsored by the Iowa General Assembly and Iowa Public Television (IPTV), provides an in-depth look into the legislative process and allows students to participate in that process.

Each session is limited to two classes.

On the morning of the presentation, an Iowa Capitol Tour Guide will travel to each school and conduct a classroom orientation.
Each class will function as the House of Representatives or the Senate and will be assigned a topic to debate. They will elect presiding officers, appoint committee members, and experience the legislative process.

During the afternoon, the schools convene together in their ICN classrooms and spend time finalizing and debating their bill. One of the schools' principals will act as the governor and either sign the bill into law or perhaps veto it.

Legislators from each school's legislative district will be contacted and perhaps participate in the classroom, as well. Participation in this activity will further enhance student awareness and participation in Iowa state government.
