Iowa Senate approves county attorney four year term measure
The Iowa senate approved a constitutional amendment to give county attorneys four-year terms. Sponsored by Sen. Howard Reppert, the proposal moves to the house and, if approved, would require identical passage by the 1967 legislature and voter approval. The change would align county officers with other officials who already have four-year terms, altering the two-year constitutional term for county attorneys.

The Iowa House passed a bill by 108 to 11 to add 100 patrolmen to the state highway patrol, funding 50 new officers in each of the next two years.
