Bill Summary
This bill relates to the salary of county attorneys in certain counties. Current law requires counties with populations of 200,000 or less to set a county attorney’s salary between 45 and 100 percent of a district court judge’s salary. The bill strikes this requirement.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the salary regulations for county attorneys in Iowa, specifically changing the existing language about salary limitations. Currently, the law stipulates that county attorneys' annual salaries must be between 45% and 100% of a district court judge's salary, with an exception for counties having over 200,000 residents. The bill removes the percentage-based salary range and the population-based exception, which effectively gives counties more flexibility in determining county attorneys' salaries. By amending Section 331.752, subsection 5 of the Iowa Code, the bill simplifies the salary-setting process for county attorneys and allows local governments more discretion in compensation decisions. The change will take effect in the 2025 Code of Iowa and provides county boards more autonomy in setting appropriate compensation levels for their county attorneys based on local needs and budgetary considerations.
