The 1973 Legislature stands as the second longest regular session in state history, aiming to avoid beating the 175 day 1967 record, while Governor Ray signs a tax relief measure. The exemption covers low income Towans at $4,000 or less, up from $3,000, and raises the filing threshold from $1,000 to $2,000 for state income tax returns, reducing unnecessary filings.
The legislature advances a statewide voter registration requirement to begin in 1975, expanding from urban and county bases, and sets election hours from 7 am to 8 pm. A companion measure would legalize Sunday alcohol sales in Iowa, likely effective July 1 if signed by Governor Ray.
