Iowa Public Information Board to wait on law tweaks
The Iowa Public Information Board, three months old, will delay proposing changes to the 2012 law for at least a year. Members discussed expanding coverage to advisory panels and task forces, but decided to monitor issues first. University of Iowa law professor Arthur Banfield supported patience, noting open meetings and public records remain contentious. The board meets November 21 in Des Moines at the Wallace Building.
