Wow, this is such very good news. And the "heartland" aspect of

Yes; the requirement for votes of two consecutive sessions of the
legislature is a nice feature, though the article I saw didn't
mention the votes' threshold.

Wasn't the Massachussetts situation similar? The Iowa legislative
votes require only majorities in both houses, but I think the MA
situation was some supermajority? Paging Mr. Coren...
