Happy New Year. With a new year, comes new laws. There weren't many, but a few new laws are now in effect in Iowa, as of January 1st, 2020.
New laws include a bill that prevents public universities and community colleges from banning stun guns on campus. Supporters say the change will improve student safety.
There is a law putting new restrictions on property tax hikes in place. Any proposed increase above two-percent will now require a public hearing and a two-thirds vote in order to pass.
