Kim Reynolds has released the text of a bill that would implement her far-ranging attempt to revamp Iowa’s tax code and provide a steady funding source for mental health services and water quality projects. The bill puts concrete language to a proposal Reynolds called for in her Condition of the State address in January that would involve a 1-cent increase in the state’s sales tax to pay for income tax cuts, fund water quality and outdoor recreation programs and provide a state funding stream for mental health services while limiting how much counties levy in property taxes to pay for mental health.
