This bill amends the existing law regarding the salary of county attorneys in Iowa, specifically addressing the requirements for counties with populations of 200,000 or less. The current law mandates that the annual salary for a full-time county attorney must be set between 45% and 100% of the salary of a district court judge. The proposed changes remove this stipulation, allowing counties greater flexibility in determining the salary of their county attorneys.

By eliminating the population-based salary requirement, the bill aims to provide counties with the autonomy to establish compensation that reflects their specific needs and circumstances. This change could potentially lead to variations in county attorney salaries across the state, as each county will have the discretion to set salaries without being bound by the previous percentage guidelines related to district court judges' salaries.
