A BILL FOR

An Act relating to the salary of county attorneys in certain counties.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 331.752, subsection 5, Code 2025, is amended to read as follows:
   5.  The resolution changing the status of a county attorney shall state the initial annual salary to be paid to the county attorney when the full-time or part-time status is effective. The annual salary specified in the resolution shall remain effective until changed as provided in section 331.907. Except in counties having a population of more than two hundred thousand, the annual salary of a full-time county attorney shall be an amount which is between forty-five percent and one hundred percent of the annual salary received by a district court judge.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   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.
