Iowa House Kills Income Tax Bill in 36 to 72 Vote
The Iowa House killed the income tax bill by a 72 to 36 vote, effectively ending the measure for two years. Debate was short with only four members speaking for and against. The result likely closes the issue for this session unless a motion to reconsider is filed, which is unlikely. Farmers from five counties voiced broad support for safety laws, a bank deposit guarantee, and the gasoline tax as property tax reform, while the conference also approved a road bond plan. The session also saw the Mathews freight rate bill advancing, allowing roundabout routes to match direct-line rates. A motor carrier tax rewrite and broader powers for railroad commissioners were proposed, with backing from the state farm bureau and bus operators. The highways bill aims to modernize Iowa road laws, secure federal aid, and shift some primary funds to the state highway commission while repealing special assessments on benefited property.
