A bill for an act relating to the compensation of county officers.

HF 752 amends Iowa law to change salary rules for county officers. It removes the requirement that county attorney salaries (in counties under 200,000 population) must be 45-100% of a district court judge’s salary. Instead, it sets new limits: deputy salaries (like sheriff’s deputies or auditor/treasurer deputies) cannot exceed 85% of their principal officer’s salary, and assistant county attorneys’ salaries cannot exceed 85% of a full-time county attorney’s salary. The bill also gives county boards more flexibility to adjust individual salary increases for elected officers without reducing others’ increases, provided justification is given.
