House approves a compromise bill stiffening utility regulation. The measure expands the Iowa Commerce Commission powers to penalize overbuilt utilities and caps advertising charges and deposits. It limits rate payments and profits for efficient and inefficient operators and targets excessive generating capacity. The proposal moves to the Senate and then to Gov Branstad.
