Governors don't write bills — Iowa's legislature sends them bills, and they sign or veto. Each one below is a bill Iowa's own record shows Kim Reynolds acted on. Bills still waiting for a decision, and resolutions, aren't included. The record shows a decision on 97% of the 386 bills that passed both chambers; the rest are waiting on the governor or aren't labeled in the state's record.
