Utilities reform bill stalls in Iowa House vote
The Iowa House postponed floor debate on House File 2530 as support remains fragile. Governor Vilsack backed amendments to protect low income Iowans and expand alternative energy, but Democrats show reluctant support citing lack of proven benefits from deregulation elsewhere. Republicans press cautiously toward a path to passage in the dwindling session.

Iowa Animal Torture Bill Faces Floor Delay Amid Debate
Senate leaders indicated the animal torture bill stalled and may not reach the floor this week. lawmakers discuss making first offenses felonies or aggravated misdemeanors with penalties up to five years or two years respectively. Public outrage and petitions frame a heated debate with amendments proposed by Sen. Lundby and support from animal rights groups.
Republican bill seeks tougher penalties for animal abuse
A GOP bill would make torture of an animal a felony on a second offense with up to five years in prison and a $7500 fine. First offenses remain simple or aggravated misdemeanors. All first-time offenders would face counseling. Senate may consider charging first-time offenders as felons next week.
