hotel fire safety bill doubles penalties in Iowa
Rep. John Duffy introduced a second hotel fire safety bill in the Iowa House aiming to raise penalties to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine for violations, up from the current $100 fine or 30 days jail. The measure follows the Canfield hotel fire in Dubuque last June that killed 19. A separate bill would shift fire inspection duties from agriculture to the fire marshal. Nine other bills were also filed, including pay cap changes for county superintendents and renaming highway 6 as the G A R highway.
