Iowa House advances Reynolds paid family leave bill
The House State Government Committee unanimously moved House Study Bill 78 to the full House, providing four weeks of paid parental leave for birth mothers, one week for nonbirth new parents, and four weeks for adoptive parents. The measure would also expand sick leave to vacation time and aligns Iowa with 24 other states offering state employee benefits, while protesters gathered outside the Capitol amid national political actions.

Republicans push, Democrats warn of flood risks and energy planning impacts, citing increased precipitation, temperatures, and health effects.
