Iowa Senate backs indefinite postponement of interest bill
The Iowa Senate voted 36 to 1 to sustain the banking committee report proposing indefinite postponement of the Hieckhart bill to reduce the legal interest rate from eight to seven percent.

The committee, led by Senator Shane, had unanimously voted to kill the bill.
