Iowa General Assembly members approved three appropriations bills totaling 1.43 billion for fiscal 1982 and 1983, with a fourth bill in each chamber set for debate next week.

The Iowa Supreme Court rejected Northwestern National Insurance Co.’s bid for a rehearing in a 1975 false arrest case involving Cedar Rapids. The court earlier ruled the insurer must pay a $20,000 punitive damages award, saying the city should not bear the cost. The decision was issued without comment as is typical in such cases.
