Senate blocks repeal of two year old cigarette sales act
Republican dominated Iowa General Assembly faces a rough path for new price regulating bills after the Senate rejected a measure to repeal the two year old cigarette sales act. The 31 to 14 vote left the cigarette law in place despite earlier district court loss and later Supreme Court reversal. Observers expect continued battles over regulation and pricing rules in future sessions as lawmakers weigh next steps.

Iowa lawmakers pursue full treatment of P-60 antifreeze license
Iowa legislators advance a house investigation into the P-60 salt base antifreeze license action by the secretary of agriculture after an interim committee hearing. Clyde Spry revoked the initial license for test use, while Senate leader Jay Colburn warned the hearing was not an investigation. The move seeks a full explanation and potential action on both the hearing and the license, with prior statements that the interim panel left many questions unanswered. Also, about 14,000 World War I veterans will soon receive state bonus checks funded by a two year legislative appropriation, with $85 million allotted for payments.
