Iowa lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill in Des Moines on Monday to gavel in the 2024 legislative session with a tentative agenda that could have implications for businesses – state income taxes, child care aid, affordable housing, large-scale development and a host of other issues.

In the weeks leading up to this year’s session, the Business Record interviewed Iowa House and Senate leadership, covered their public comments to Central Iowa trade organizations and nonprofits, and sat down with business groups to get a sense of what the key debates and policy changes could be.
