Iowa disaster relief bill moves to governor for signing
Governor Reynolds proposed legislation to fund and speed disaster aid after 2024 floods and 125 tornadoes across Iowa. The bill would create a Natural Hazard Mitigation Financing program, provide 11.6 million to the Iowa Finance Authority, add 2 million to the Nuisance Property fund, and regulate adjusters with licensing and bonds. It advances Senate File 619 with broad support and seeks to streamline claims, aid housing developers, and establish a revolving loan fund for local governments.

Reynolds signs law cutting handgun age to 18 in Iowa
Gov. Kim Reynolds signs a package of laws including lowering the handgun possession age from 21 to 18 for Iowa residents 18 and over may still be restricted by federal rules for dealers. The bill aligns with NICS and Senate Republicans say it respects Second Amendment rights while complying with federal background checks. The signing occurred as part of multiple bills, also expanding penalties for assaults on first responders and launching the Students First ESA program for private K-12 education with $7,800 per student for 2025-2026.
