爱荷华州通过了“三次罢工”法,规定累犯的最低刑期为20年,并有三个严重犯罪点,对未来犯罪有效。 Iowa passes "three strikes" law mandating 20-year minimums for repeat offenders with three serious crime points, effective on future offenses.

爱荷华州众议院通过了一项“三次罢工”法案,对从严重犯罪中累积三分的累犯处以20年最低徒刑,不包括毒品占有和盗窃。 The Iowa House passed a "three strikes" bill imposing a 20-year minimum sentence on repeat offenders who accumulate three points from serious crimes, excluding drug possession and theft. 法律只对未来犯罪有效,对过去20年中犯罪的积累加以限制,并排除单一事件中的多项指控。 The law, effective only on future offenses, limits point accumulation to crimes within the past 20 years and excludes multiple charges from a single incident. 批评者警告说,它可能增加种族差距,减少司法裁量权,使资源紧张,预计从2031年开始,每年的费用为1.649亿美元。 Critics warn it could increase racial disparities, reduce judicial discretion, and strain resources, with projected annual costs of $164.9 million starting in 2031. 法案现在提交参议院进一步审查。 The bill now moves to the Senate for further review.
