Fetched directly via curl (Chrome UA) from legis.iowa.gov; 8-page born-digital PDF (PDF p.1 is the bill cover/enacting-clause page; the bill's own internal numbering runs 1/7 through 7/7 on PDF pp.2-8), PyMuPDF/pdfplumber layout-mode extraction, no OCR needed. pub_date uses the Feb 23, 2026 renumbering-to-HF2690 date (per the bill-history source below); the underlying LSB drafting number (6777HV (2) 91) and "BY COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE (SUCCESSOR TO HF 2447)" byline appear on every page footer/header of the fetched PDF.
