Senate approves licensing screening bill in Iowa
The Iowa Senate amid a 44 to 1 vote amended House legislation to create a nine member commission that would screen future occupational licensing needs and determine if new professions should be regulated, though it does not review current licensing boards as some House members wanted. The move follows Gov. Ray’s call for a screening board in his State of the State address and faces House Senate disagreement over regulating nearly two dozen existing fields including watchmakers and medical licensing.
