Iowa Legislature Reopens With Beer Code Debate
Iowa lawmakers reconvened after a five day spring recess to consider a bill boosting class C beer licenses from 25 to as high as 5300 a year and aligning them with class B fees. The measure, filed by Rep Harold F. Nelson, aims to push small grocers out of beer sales by taxing them like taverns. The session also shelved 59 new bills, including proposals to raise the primary road fund ceiling to 17 million dollars and reform election returns.
