Republicans in the Iowa House passed a bill Thursday to overhaul how workers in the state are compensated for on-the-job injuries, though they backed off on some key proposals amid internal concern. The GOP-majority chamber voted 55-38 for the bill, which would revamp standards for hurt workers in Iowa, including reductions to shoulder injury benefits and decreased coverage for injuries tied to a pre-existing condition. The Republican-led Senate will now consider the legislation.
