Iowa Senate in Session Amid Budget Debates and Bills
Des Moines April 15 lawmakers did not advance two major items as both chambers returned to routine work. Governor Hammill approved the Bergman banking bill for a comprehensive revision to take effect on publication. The budget measure passed the Senate with a total appropriation and awaits Governor Hammill’s signature, while concerns over taxation prompt possible conference committee action on a resolution for a study of taxation systems. The Senate kept changes to a board of assessed review and salary increases for commissioners, with continued debate over the constitutionality of certain expenditures and officer salaries.
