Iowa House approves bottle bill with changes sent to Senate
The Iowa House passed 74 to 14 a beer and soft drink container deposit bill and sent it back to the Senate. The measure would impose a 5 cent minimum deposit, fund alcoholism treatment from liquor bottle deposits, adjust the effective date to March 1 1979, and require redemption centers to meet health standards while excluding on premise sales.

How the bottle law would work
Des Moines outlines a draft bottle bill set to take effect March 1, 1979. Specially marked containers will be redeemable for a five cent deposit, with one cent per container going to redeemers. Retailers must redeem cans they sell, while concerns on costs and pricing are debated. Vermont examples show how redemption centers could form and operate.
