What’s in it

AI summary In certain Iowa counties, the law currently sets a specific range for how much a county attorney can be paid based on a judge's salary. This bill removes that rule. Now, counties with populations of 200,000 or less will no longer have those specific salary limits for their county attorneys.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to the salary of county attorneys in certain counties. Current law requires counties with populations of 200,000 or less to set a county attorney’s salary between and 100 percent of a district court judge’s salary. The bill strikes this requirement.
