Senate approves bill allowing payments when charges are dismissed
Summary
The Iowa Senate voted to pass House File 26 97, a bill described by proponents as allowing certain payments "when the charges are dismissed by the court," with the chamber recording 44 ayes and 0 nays. The measure was immediately messaged to the House.
Senator Dickey, the senator from Jefferson, moved final reading and passage of House File 26 97, which he said "allows a payment of precrusionary damages consent of the defendant and the prosecutor when the charges are dismissed by the court." The motion carried and the bill was read for the final time; the Senate recorded 44 ayes and 0 nays, and the chair declared the bill passed.
The secretary read the bill title and the Senate agreed to the title. The Senate gave unanimous consent to immediately message House File 26 97 to the House, sending the enacted language on for further processing. No amendments or roll-call objections were recorded in the transcript.
