Who is responsible for executing laws set by the general assembly in Iowa?

The responsible party for executing laws set by the general assembly in Iowa is the Governor of Iowa. The Governor acts as the chief executive officer of the state, ensuring that the laws are enforced and implemented as intended by the legislature. The Governor has various powers, including vetoing legislation, appointing officials, and overseeing the functioning of state government, including various departments.

The Insurance Division, while involved in the regulation of insurance practices and ensuring compliance with laws related to insurance, does not execute all state laws but focuses specifically on matters related to insurance. The Department of Revenue is tasked with managing the state's tax collection and revenue, which is a specific function rather than the broad execution of laws. The State Legislature is responsible for creating laws but does not execute them; this is the role designated to the executive branch led by the Governor.
