Iowa bill could broaden drug reuse including cancer meds
The bill HF 724 may allow reverse distributors to collect drugs from nursing homes and return some to manufacturers or to a charitable clinic pharmacy, with cancer drugs and immunosuppressants considered for inclusion.

House backs easier Linn County board change in Iowa
The Iowa House approved House File 774 98 to 0 to remove decade old requirements for Linn County that blocked changes to the Linn County Board of Supervisors. If the Senate agrees the change would allow petition driven board expansion but district elections would still face separate ballot votes.

Iowa Senate backs higher tenant deer licenses in 120k spread
Iowa Senate approved Senate File 206 to ease deer overpopulation by 120000 to 135000 next year. The bill raises landowner and tenant licenses from six to ten and expands hot spot hunts while removing the nonresident license cap. It also requires an antlerless tag with a total cost over 400 dollars for license, tags and habitat fees. Backers say differences with the House may send the measure to conference before Gov. Vilsack's desk.
