Iowa judges oppose budget proposal to change nominating commissions
Iowa judges and lawyers oppose a plan to have district judicial nominating commissions elect a chair from among members. The bill raises concerns about judicial influence on appointments, potential impacts on salaries and pensions, and retention amid salary competition with neighboring states. The measure, tied to a $216 million judicial budget, moves through the Senate with negotiators aiming a compromise before session end.
