Senate bill would let 19 and 20 year olds drink in Iowa bars
Iowa Senate proposes Senate File 208 to override local 21 age ordinances and allow 19 and 20 year olds in bars. Senator Rick Bertrand, a bar owner, says bill aims to boost safety by avoiding unsupervised parties. Sioux City and Iowa City officials note possible conflicts of interest and ethics review. The sponsor and co sponsor say passage is unlikely but seek to spark debate among college towns.

Senators push limited death penalty for Iowa crimes
Nine Republican senators back Senate File 239 to allow a judge or jury to impose a limited death penalty in cases where a perpetrator kidnaps, rapes, and murders a minor. The bill would take effect January 1, 2016 and aims to deter adults from killing a victim under 18 to silence witnesses. Democrats caution against the measure and favor prevention and solving murders instead.
