A detailed Iowa report urges creation of a statewide Taxation Board to replace the executive council in valuing property, levying taxes, and reviewing assessments. It would oversee local assessors, standardize forms, and require annual returns, with hearings and appeals to the new board. A state budget board and local budget systems are also proposed, plus a new amusement tax schedule.
The proposal shifts amusement taxes and a one cent gasoline tax to the county treasurer for pro rata distribution to school funds and road building. State treasurer issues warrants, funding the road fund and eliminating the two mill levy. The Ways and Means committees will receive the reform report, but action is likely deferred to a special code revision session.
