Blind Commission Bill Deferred in Committee
The Iowa House bill to remove the Vinton Braille school superintendent from the state commission for the blind was deferred by the Senate Board of Control committee. Lawmakers debated the move as a clash of personalities, with some arguing for no change and others seeking adjustments to avoid hindering blind education at Vinton until students reach age 16.

House Will Amend Land Grab Bill To Limit Seizures
The Iowa House plans an amendment to the land grab bill to restrict private seizures. The Senate approved a measure allowing delegation of condemnation to private groups for water recreation projects, while the conservation committee would retain title and condemnations through the state's conservation commission. The private party would still bear development costs and the bill has faced criticism as favoring commercial interests.
