Legislative News Current Comment from Early Iowa Session
A 47th General Assembly may adjourn around April 20, with bills moving slowly as session winds down. A sitting committee will absorb all bills to avoid overtime, leaving many items in the “graveyard of lost causes.” The Senate’s Committee of Committees, led by Republicans and Democrats, gains authority to sift bills by April 18. The piece also notes Iowa’s fish and game rules debate after a supreme court ruling and fireworks safety measures likely passing, along with Gov Kraschel signing the homestead tax exemption bill awarding about 10 million dollars yearly in tax relief.
