Makes changes to Iowa’s banking regulations. The legislation was proposed by the Iowa Division of Banking.

Bright Saturn and a faint asteroid named Lutetia. This month Saturn is at Opposition, which is when the sun is on one side of the Earth and Saturn is directly on the opposite side.
Saturn is brightest at Opposition. And it’s also as close to Earth as it ever gets in its orbit. You can view Saturn all night long now. It rises in the east at sunset and sets in the west at dawn.
