The Iowa Senate approved a measure 35 to 10 to end tax benefits for oil exploration investments and cap losses from farming against nonfarming income. The bill also adjusts child and dependent care credits and aims to raise as much as $5 million, moving to the House for consideration.
Iowa House to consider restoring a constitutional amendment on judicial nominating commissions after caucus action. Rep. Minnette Doderer notes the plan to place the measure back on the House calendar though time before adjournment remains uncertain.
Per diem payments for Iowa legislators ended at business close Tuesday. House Speaker Don Avenson said a miracle is needed to wrap up this week's session, with plans to adjourn Friday and regroup Monday to finish budget, tax, and liability law debates.
The Iowa House approved a plan to decentralize half the births in the indigent care program, with counties assigned minimum quotas and a two year timeline toward full decentralization. The measure ties to a $2.14 billion state budget and includes shifting about $7 million of University of Iowa obstetrical funds to local delivery costs.
Critics call the measure meaningless as the Senate approves a tort liability package 41 to 6. Key points include state immunity, local government protection, dram shop changes, social host exemption, a ban on frivolous suits, expanded product liability, expert witness rules, and revised punitive damages with funds to a victim reparation and insurance aid programs. The bill returns to the House for action.
