Iowa would set film censorship with state board
A proposed Iowa bill would create a Board of Motion Picture Censors to approve or ban films. It sets a $2 inspection fee per 2,000 feet and a $1 surcharge per extra 1,000 feet. The board would stamp approved films and may cut or prohibit shown content deemed obscene or immoral. It excludes educational or religious films.
