Two
years later the Sixty-sixth General Assembly approved and on July
1, 1976, Governor Robert Ray signed into law the Spanish-Speaking
People's Commission. Ten years later, in 1986, during an overall
reorganization of state government the Iowa Department of Human
Rights was formed, under which was placed the Spanish-Speaking
People's Commission.
In
1990, the Commission and the Division were renamed Latino Affairs.
Today, the day-to-day work of the Commission is run by the Division
staff.
