• Introduced by the Iowa Bankers Assn and Wells Fargo-- includes grain lien + central filing
• We are NOT pursuing grain priority lien language
• Bankers say grain lien legislation will eliminate future litigation
• Also limits storage and drying charges to March of the following year
• This bill is expansive: it includes all farm products and would require local sale barns, meat processors, etc. to purchase access to a central filing system and use it when buying farm products
• Central filing is not a better system than direct notice and a new system would cost money to implement-- those costs would be passed down to our farmers

• The Governor's broadband bill provides a tiered approach to grant funding based on current broadband access/capabilities and has speed requirements
• Directs OCIO to update its tiered map once a year
• Raises minimum speeds for buildout to 100 by 100
• Increases state match to 75% (tier 1: 1-24 megabits per second download/1-2 mbps upload), 50% (tier 2: 25-49 mbps down/3 up), and 35% (tier 3: 50-80 mbps down/no upload requirement)

• Would allow RECs to trim and cut trees near powerlines

•  Allows awards incentivizing and gamifying savings for Iowans at all lending institutions

• Prohibits counties/cities from regulating the sale of natural gas and propane

•  Questions about how this is written and applies, prompting questions about E85 infrastructure requirements, E0 options, retroactive applicability to applications that have already been submitted for RFIP funds, etc.
