Iowa House panel approves bill to grow telecom commission
The House Technology Committee backed a bill to expand the Iowa Telecommunications and Technology Commission from three to five members, add the state auditor as a voting member, raise leasing authority to one million dollars, and require at least two members be knowledgeable about telecom technology. Rep. Bob Brunkhorst said three members are too few to oversee ICN standards. The measure matches a Senate version increasing voting members to four with one non voting member.
