Capitol Digest Tu ition Freeze And Other Iowa Legislation
A House panel advanced a higher education bill with a $31 million cut to regent universities and a tuition freeze for 2012 13, as Democrats joined Republicans in attaching the amendment to a bill with a $65 million House Senate funding gap. A separate panel approved banning red light and speed cameras, while Kadyns Law moved national with stronger penalties for stopping school buses and possible loss of federal highway funds. The Senate passed a bill allowing stillborn birth certificates, and the House urged colleges to adopt child abuse reporting policies.
