Iowa lawmakers weigh tax policy shifts and pesticide bill fate
Lawmakers failed to advance key tax reform as Senate File 651 would phase out the rollback over 10 years and shift 426 million dollars of K 12 funding to the state. Bayer faced continued resistance to a pesticide liability shield while Earth friendly groups urged watchdog action and Reynolds floated a 2026 retooling of property taxes and child care. The session also featured debate over energy policy and right of first refusal for new transmission lines.
