Gov. Tom Vilsack signed a bill to create a $100,000 line of duty death benefit for families of firefighters and law enforcement officers who die in the line of duty. The measure retroactively covers Keokuk trio who perished trying to save others, expanding IPERS to include prison guards and others.
The Iowa House approves penalties for animal abuse but exempts farm live stock from the measure. Critics say lawmakers weaken protections while proponents cite dog and cat abuse cases drawing public attention. The measure would punish torturers with up to two years for first offenses and up to five years for a second felony conviction.
