Committee Announcements
Legislative CommitteeThe 2009 Iowa Legislative Session ended on Sunday, April 27. Below are the bills and proposals we monitored and
worked on throughout the session. A big Thank You to Mike Triplett of Hultman Company for his tenacity, especially
with all the work we had to do to get a reasonable concession on the plumbing bill. The Legislative Committee spent
many hours behind the scenes to assure a positive business atmosphere for our members. We are already putting to-
gether a plan of action for 2010.
Click any of the underlined links below to read the complete language of the bills and proposals:
* The storm shelter bill (HF 705) passed, but it was changed drastically from when we first saw the bill. Essentially,you don't have to build a storm shelter, but if you do, it has to comply with the state building code and the rules coming
forth from them.
* Theplumbing bill (SF 224) passed, and this long and arduous journey ended with a definition of "routine mainte-
nance" that we can live with. Although I didn't like the process, I am OK with the end result.
* Theprivate cause of action bill (HF 712) passed, and it included our recommendations about not being subject to suit
if you are complying with the law. They took it even further than our recommendations, which is not really a bad thing.
* Theproposal for a state landlord-tenant board to hear grievances and do other things failed again.* Theproposal to give apartment complex owners a tax credit for "green" building did not pass.
* Theproposal to tweak the property tax structure for certain condo/apartment buildings did not pass.
* Theproposal to abolish the property tax assessment appeal board did not pass.
* Theproposal to prohibit us from fining tenants who violate city ordinances did not pass.
* Theproposal to eliminate employer choice of doctor in work comp cases did not pass.

Bright Funny Delightfully Obnoxious, Meagan Johnson is known as the Generational Humorist. If you think youve heardall there is to hear about the four different generations in the workplace, you have not heard Meagans comical spin on how toattract, market, manage and communicate with people from every generation without strangling someone in the process.
During this session, youll laugh while acquiring tools you can use immediately to improve your multi-generational relationshipswith clients, co-workers and in your every day personal life.
While working in a sales environment for various large companies, Meagan became discouraged to hear all the negative com-ments about generation X and began to research successful ways to work with her younger generation From that Zap the
