Here are six bills to watch this week at the Statehouse:
1. House File 283: Would make it a crime to use synthetic urine or another person’s urine to defraud a drug or alcohol test.
2. House File 313: Would prohibit counties or cities from imposing restrictions on certain temporary and short-term businesses run by children under 18 years old. Such businesses would include a “stand,” according to the bill.
3. House File 381: Increases the percentage of damage a vehicle can have before being issued a salvage title. Iowa’s rate is currently at 50%, but if approved, the bill would increase that to 70%, similar to other neighboring states.
4. Senate File 284: Allocates $21 million for the Workday Computer software that was originally paid for with CARES Act funding that had to be returned after it was determined it was spent improperly. The House Appropriations Committee recommended passage on Monday.
