Iowa bill targets salary repayment for teachers charged with crimes
The Iowa House backed HF 493 requiring public school teachers on paid leave who are later convicted of felonies or serious misdemeanors to repay earned salaries. The measure, prompted by Toshiki Itoh and similar cases, aims to deter crime while balancing presumption of innocence. It could expand to all public sector workers if enacted.
