This bill amends Section 331.752 of the Iowa Code regarding the salary of county attorneys. It specifically removes the requirement that counties with populations of 200,000 or less must set the salary of a full-time county attorney between 45% and 100% of a district court judge's salary. The bill maintains that the resolution changing the status of a county attorney must still state the initial annual salary to be paid, which will remain effective until changed as outlined in section 331.907.
By eliminating the population-based salary requirement, the bill allows for greater flexibility in determining the compensation of county attorneys in smaller counties. This change aims to provide local governments with more autonomy in setting salaries that reflect their specific circumstances and needs.
