Utilities Bill Clears Iowa House With Reservations
Iowa House approves an omnibus utility regulation bill 96 to 3 amid protests that it does not fix rate structures or fund a consumer advocate. The measure delays audits until 1984, sets annual reviews of profits, establishes rate decision timetables, and exempts small water and mutual telephone firms while urging tighter oversight of advertising impacts.

Iowa Senate backs siting bill after nixing tax break
The Iowa Senate approved a hazardous waste siting bill 47 to 2 after rejecting a 7 percent tax incentive for machinery used in treatment or recycling. The measure gives the Environmental Quality Commission authority to locate sites, with four local voters on the commission, while shielding cities and counties from liability. The bill aims to curb out-of-state disposal and align with expanded federal rules, though some senators argued for more local input and on site disposal incentives.
