Senate OKs austere higher ed budget in Iowa
Iowa senators approved a 908.4 million dollar budget for higher education and related state education functions, trimming 6 percent at the University of Iowa and Iowa State University and about 3 percent at the University of Northern Iowa for the year starting July 1. The measure, HF 642, heads to Gov. Branstad as lawmakers cite a tight fiscal picture and a broader 5.5 billion education and human services package.

House votes to shift fishing and hunting fees to commission
Iowa House approved HF 631 to give the Natural Resource Commission authority to set hunting and fishing license fees with oversight by lawmakers. The measure avoids immediate increases, though the DNR may seek higher revenue to support the fish and wildlife fund, with fees reviewed at least every three years. Senate approval needed for final passage.
