Iowa House switches water quality bill to governor signature
The Iowa House accepted Senate File 512 after receding from HF 612 and aligning with the Senate plan favored by Gov. Kim Reynolds. SF 512 provides 282 million dollars over 12 years funded by converting a metered water tax to an excise tax and debt repayment from Vision Iowa bonds. HF 612 would have used general funds and a school construction tax extension but was rejected.
