Des Moines AP. The Iowa Legislature enters the home stretch of its longest regular session, with major appropriations bills moving. A $29.895 million annual allotment for Social Welfare operating public assistance programs passed the House 91-13 and Senate 46-13, heading back to the House. A $7.4 million bill for Conservation Commission capital improvements cleared, part of the early big money bills.
