Key:

1	IA 82.2: A H8553 to HF 2686, Shall Amendment H-8553 be adopted?	ON A H8553 TO HF 2686: INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RECLASSIFICATION - Amendment replaces the House version of bill with legislation passed by the Senate in SF 2416 which broadly redefines employee and subjects employers to wage collection actions by the labor commissioner as well incorporating independent contractor reclassification for all forms of construction.

2	IA 82.2: Amendment 8039, Shall Amendment 8039 be adopted?	On Amendment 8039: BONUS DEPRECIATION OF BUSINESS ASSETS - Amendment H-8039 to the Internal Revenue Code update bill would have allowed Iowa businesses to capture“bonus depreciation” of business assets on their State of Iowa tax returns along with their federal taxes. As a result of the the federal Economic Stimulus package approved by Congress and signed by the President in February 2008, businesses may accelerate their Section 179 expenses to $250,000 for tax year 2008 going forward, but only on their federal returns.

3	IA 82.2: Amendment H-8198 to HF 2645, Right to Work protection	ON AMENDMENT TO H-8198 TO HF 2645: RIGHT TO WORK PROTECTION - specifically excludes bargaining for agency fees from non- union members as a condition of employment. The amendment passed 100-0.

4	IA 82.2: Amendment H-8207 to HF 2645, Free Non Union Members from Collective bargaining	ON AMENDMENT H-8207 TO HF 2645: FREE NON- UNION MEMBERS FROM COLLECTIVE BARGAINING- Frees individuals from constraints of collective bargaining if they choose not to join government employee unions.

5	IA 82.2: HF 2645, Shall the bill pass?	ON HF 2645: GOVERNMENT UNIONS BARGAINING - Allows "open scope' bargaining by government employee unions for items not mutually agreed upon with local school boards, city councils, and other tax-payer funded entities. Combined with binding arbitration laws, this results in increased property taxes. The bill passed: 52 yes, 47 no, 1 absent

6	IA 82.2: HF 2663, Shall HF 2663 pass?	ON HF 2663: STATEWIDE USE TAX INCREASE - Repeals current school infrastructure local option sales tax and adds a statewide one-cent sales and use tax, increasing use tax on business purchases by $40-60 million annually.

7	IA 82.2: HF 2686, Shall HF 2686 pass?	ON HF 2686: INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RECLASSIFICATION/ID REQUIREMENTS- Broadly reclassifies independent contractors in all forms of construction and landscaping outside current definitions of the IRS as well as workers' compensation insurance. Would make Iowa employers subject to stiff penalties for misclassification of workers who work independently on construction projects. Also creates a state employment verification program duplicative of federal I-9 requirements.

8	IA 82.2: SF 2420, Shall SF 2420 pass?	ON SF 2420: TIME-21 (TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE MOVES THE ECONOMY IN 21st CENTURY) is legislation to devote new money to transportation infrastructure needs over the next decade - Primary Road Fund (60%), Secondary Road Fund (20%) and City Street Fund (20%). By 2011, the Fund will collect up to $160 million through various registration fees including revised formula for car registration fees, increased pickup truck registration fees based on age and weight and establishes a “business-trade” truck vehicle classification capped at $150 and increases the minimum registration fee for 3-ton pickups.
