Branstad signs budget web site into law
Gov. Terry Branstad has signed into law a bill creating a searchable, online state budget database, among other things.
The bill, signed on Monday, also calls for health care plans for state lawmakers to be no better than those of executive branch workers, and requires a request for proposals to sell or lease the Iowa Communications Network.
The bill also formally shifts responsibilities from the Rebuild Iowa Office to other agencies, and reduces funding for the office in the current fiscal year. The office was created in the wake of record flooding in 2008. It's due to be shut down this summer.
