Gov. Reynolds, Senate GOP reach compromise on budget
Iowa Senate Republicans and Gov. Kim Reynolds say they have reached a compromise on a budget.
The compromise includes an overall budget of $9.4 billion dollars for fiscal year 2026. That includes more than $1 billion dollars for education and $2 billion for Health and Human Services.
"A budget agreement with Governor Reynolds moves this legislative session one step closer to adjourning for the year," said Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver in a release announcing the compromise. "As we continue to work on important issues in the legislature and find agreement among legislators, this deal marks an important step forward. We look forward to more conversations with the House of Representatives on how we can pass a sustainable budget for the upcoming fiscal year."
Senate Republicans plan to advance the budget bills this week.
