Des Moines Register: The Iowa Legislature adjourned its coronavirus-disrupted 2020 session Sunday after a marathon overnight debate that saw the passage of a mostly status quo budget and a controversial expansion of the state’s voter ID program. The Senate passed the proposed $7.78 billion budget at about 6 a.m. Sunday after debating the bill overnight. The House resumed session at 10 a.m. to finalize it. The Legislature officially adjourned at 1:38 p.m. In addition to the budget, the Legislature’s Saturday night marathon included the passage of a bill that would require women to wait 24 hours after an initial appointment before they could receive an abortion. That bill now goes to Gov. Kim Reynolds.
