If the convening authority disapproves the findings and sentence and does not order a rehearing, the convening authority shall dismiss the charges.\n2. Each rehearing shall take place before a court-martial composed of members not members of the court-martial which first heard the case. Upon a rehearing the accused may not be tried for any offense of which the accused was found not guilty by the first court-martial, and no sentence in excess of or more severe than the original sentence may be imposed, unless the sentence is based upon a finding of guilty of an offense not considered upon the merits in the original proceedings, or unless the sentence prescribed for the offense is mandatory.","path":["Title I - STATE SOVEREIGNTY AND MANAGEMENT (Ch. 1 - 38D)","Chapter 29B - MILITARY JUSTICE","Subchapter IX - REVIEW BY COURT-MARTIAL"],"source_url":"https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/code/2026/29B.64.pdf","current_through":"Iowa Code 2026 edition","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T19:40:00Z","sha256":"544c546f351fc6512ddb4b138cf6d5d96a12aa0b862e8f2dbd88efe8ca0ca267","source_id":"us-ia","stale":false,"prev":"us-ia/iowa-code-29b.63","next":"us-ia/iowa-code-29b.65"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
