Iowa Senate OKs corn checkoff raise measure
The Iowa Senate approved a bill to raise the maximum corn checkoff from 1 cent to as much as 3 cents per bushel via future producer referendums, with caps at 1 cent until Aug 31, 2015 and a 2 cent cap for five years beginning Sept 1, 2014, before moving to Gov. Branstad. The measure passed 46-0. supporters say it increases authority without guaranteed increases, while current revenue funds marketing, promotion, education and research. A second 46-0 vote approved GPS search-warrant legislation for Iowa law enforcement, expanding officer ability to obtain a court-backed GPS device placement.

GOP senators urge revival of telemedicine abortion ban
A group of Republican Iowa senators urged Democrats to bypass procedure and revive the House-passed telemedicine abortion ban. Democrats argue the issue is before the courts and should not be politicized. The House approved the ban 55-42 after a Board of Medicine ruling requiring in-person prescribing, with Planned Parenthood challenging the rule.
