Tuition refund veto upheld by Iowa AG on licensing bill
Iowa Attorney General's office says Gov. Branstad acted within his authority when he vetoed two sections of a professional licensing bill. The vetoed provisions would have required tuition refunds proportional to days remaining and mandated a $50,000 bond for private barber and cosmetology schools. Branstad called the plan an extreme burden that could force schools to close.

Iowa panel forwards obscenity findings to Legislature
A 10 member Iowa panel, urged by Attorney General Tom Miller and aides to Governor Branstad, recommends sending testimony and suggestions to the full House and Senate on tightening obscenity laws. Miller urged bans on hard core pornography rentals and child pornography possession, plus raising the age for posing in porn to 18. Critics warn such changes would outlaw soft porn and threaten First Amendment rights.
