04/20/2008: "Iowa safe haven for minority criminals"

Governor Culver has signed into law a bill that will require lawmakers to look at the impact proposed sentencing laws will have on racial and ethnic groups.

The new law comes as Iowa tries to shake the reputation of having the greatest prison racial disparity in the nation.

Culver says the Minority Impact Statement Bill is the first of its kind in the nation. He says it's another step toward the goal of equal justice under the law for every Iowan.
