Iowa House panel approves 1 cent beverage tax for REAP funding
A House committee voted 11 to 6 to send a 1 cent per beverage container surcharge to the full House. Rep. Don Shoultz said the tax would raise about 16 million dollars annually for the Resource Enhancement and Protection program, supplementing the general fund. Opponents warn it may shift purchases to out-of-state vendors. The panel also backed a bill to allow civil fines up to 10000 dollars per day for environmental violations and criminal penalties for false statements on waste grant applications.
