Iowa Legislature Ends Session With Tax Breaks And Voting Reforms
The 1973 Iowa Legislature, the second-longest regular session, moved toward ending as Gov. Robert Ray signed a tax relief bill exempting those with taxable income 4000 or less and raising filing thresholds. A statewide voter registration bill passed both chambers and heads to the governor, setting 7 am to 8 pm election hours. Legislation to legalize Sunday beer and liquor sales awaits Ray's signature, potentially effective July 1. A separate plan to fund youth rail-line work failed in the Senate. Employment offices extend hours to 5:30 pm, with sparse exceptions for small satellite sites.
