Iowa bill would allow idle state funds to be invested in banks
A House Commerce Committee may soon act on a measure to remove the 4 percent ceiling on interest paid by Iowa banks on state funds and to require local governments to receive within 1 percent of that rate on idle funds. The bill consolidates four measures, aims to make idle-fund investing by local units mandatory, and would set monthly interest rates instead of quarterly. State Treasurer Paul Franzenburg and bankers back the change to compete with federal securities and boost Iowa’s treasury income.
