IPR Morning Edition host Clay Masters talks with IPR State Government reporter Katarina Sostaric about the 2021 legislative session and what to expect.

Iowa lawmakers will gather at the Statehouse in Des Moines Monday for the first day of the legislative session. They will return to the capitol amid the pandemic and less than a week after far-right extremists stormed the U.S. Capitol.
