A bill for an act relating to the salary of county attorneys in certain counties.
HF 37 removes a requirement that counties with populations under 200,000 must set county attorney salaries between 45% and 100% of a district court judge's annual salary. This change directly affects county attorneys in smaller Iowa counties by eliminating the mandated salary range, allowing those counties to set salaries without that specific benchmark. The bill amends Iowa Code section 331.752 to delete the salary range provision, making the policy change concrete and procedural.
