Iowa lawmakers split on private college aid funding
Des Moines reports the Iowa House and Senate Appropriations Committees clashed over Gov. Ray’s $6 million private college tuition aid plan. Senate proposed $3 million, House $4.5 million, with both boosting the regents capital budget differently. Land funding for Atlantic State College set at $330,000 plus $370,000 carryover for 698 acres. The bill, though signed into law by Ray, faces no appropriation yet as the legislature hovers over constitutional issues.

Parley Nears on Iowa Truck License Fee Plan
Iowa House and Senate members moved closer to agreement on a bill to raise truck license fees. Lt. Gov. Roger Jepsen said after a long session the two sides are near a consensus, with House and Senate subcommittee versions suggesting about 7 to 8 million dollars in annual revenue, portions to cities for street work. The Senate proposal considers a 1235 dollar fee for a 36 ton truck versus 1320 in the House plan, current fee 895. A double bottom up to 65 feet was discussed with a 150 dollar annual fee, though not certain to appear. The House bill lacks an increased maximum length provision.
