Iowa House Backs Optional Aid To Farm Bureau Bills
In Des Moines the Iowa House defeated an amendment to make county aid to Farm Bureaus optional. The House then passed the bill 66 to 20, sending it to the Senate. The measure would allow $5,000 annual aid to bureaus in counties of 24 000 or more, aligning with broader eligibility while current law ties aid to larger counties. The debate centered on eligibility thresholds and statewide traffic safety programs.
