Des Moines Register The Iowa Legislature adjourned its 2021 session late Wednesday night, closing out a consequential year that saw the passage Republican priorities on voting, guns, police, education, abortion and tax cuts. The legislative session blew past its target end date of April 30 as lawmakers worked to reach a deal on a tax cut package that will shift mental health funding from property taxes to the state, speed up income tax cuts and end the state s inheritance tax. Republican leaders reached that elusive deal on taxes over the weekend, paving the way for a packed sprint that featured late night debates on enhancing legal protections for police and increasing criminal penalties for protest-related crimes, passing an anti-abortion constitutional amendment, banning local mask mandates and approving the state budget  typically the final item to be passed each year before adjournment.
