In 1969 the Iowa General Assembly created the Tuition Grant Program to aid lower and middle income students in attending private colleges. Governor backed $6 million yearly, about 75 percent of need, with a proposed $2 million increase to cover 100 percent. Proponents argued private colleges save public costs and support a large regional economy.

The Iowa Legislature presses toward budget passage as most activity shifts to appropriations. With a possible June 1 end, many bills stall or await next year. House File 45 faces repeated Senate challenges over land transfer powers to state agencies.
Signals show the 1973 Iowa Legislature winding down as the House dumps its calendar and forms a 12 member committee to select bills for debate. Appropriations panels work in both chambers, often drafting separate agency requests rather than joint measures, increasing oversight of state agency funding.
Legislative leaders say at least four weeks remain for the 65th General Assembly. The Senate passed a circuit breaker plan providing property tax refunds to about 155 000 homeowners and 65 000 renters over 65 with incomes under 6 000 plus totally disabled individuals. Refunds range from 95 to 25 percent based on income, with top relief up to 570 for those under 1 000 income and low net worth. The bill, costing an estimated 6.9 million annually from 1974, passed the Senate 49 0. Revenue would fund tuition grants for private Iowa colleges rising to 6 million annually. Debate over funding levels continued between representatives Donald Avenson and Robert Kremer.
The speaker notes the Senate showed support for an amendment requiring local supervisors to approve land transfers before state agencies act. Leadership deferred the bill, leaving the motion on the floor for a future date. He cautions that hurried passage can doom a bill and stresses the value of cross chamber passage.
