Iowa legislature approves criminal justice reform package
The package imposes a 15 to 35 year minimum sentence for child endangerment resulting in a child's death and retroactive parole rules for nonviolent offenders. It creates a new robbery class as an aggravated misdemeanor if nonviolent and aims to cut prison populations and costs while addressing minority incarceration disparities. The reforms are praised as a significant shift toward smarter, fairer justice.
