Iowa House approves 150 member reapportionment plan
Iowa House Republicans caucus backs a two part compromise to cut the legislature to 150 members by 1968 with a constitutional push for single member districts and a 100 member House limit plus a 50 in the Senate. Democrats applaud while noting the move locks in districts and may extend the session due to map drawing. A bipartisan commission to draft lines is approved in the Senate and awaits House action.
