Perkie’s Observations: Nina and Bobbie Rumble at The Savoy on General Hospital – Daytime Confidential
Posted: May 25, 2022 at 4:19 am
Cynthia Watros, Jackie Zeman
On today's General Hospital recap:Carly and Bobbie end up at The Savoy, and are not happy to see Nina and Sonny drinking together. Bobbie wants to say something to them, but Carly stops her. Nina says Sonny has suffered for being involved with her and decides she should leave.
Sonny stops her, saying he prefers having her around. Sonny overhears Bobbie ask Carly about the test results and interrupts to ask if she's sick. Carly tells Sonny that her health is no concern of his anymore. Sonny says he still cares about her health even if they're divorced.
Bobbie tells Nina to drop her petition and the two get into an argument about how Nina stole Sonny. Bobbie brings up evil Nelle and Nina digs up all of Bobbie's transgressions, calling her a prostitute. Bobbie throws a drink in Nina's face, and Carly and Sonny have to break things up.
Finn wonders if Violet is on to something, saying Liz may be doing this herself. Gregory doesn't believe Liz would torment herself and her boys. Finn thinks maybe the sleep aid Liz has been taking might be responsible for what's happening. (Anyone else notice Jophielle had the hiccups, and both she and ME were trying hard not to laugh.)
Marshall and TJ take on the robbers, and Curtis arrives as Marshall is injured. Paramedics take Marshall, while TJ explains to Curtis and Molly what happened. TJ feels badly he fought to keep the clarinet, which caused this.
At the hospital, the doctor asks if Marshall has any medical issues or takes any medications, but the Ashford men have no answers. Curtis tells TJ that Stella knew all along about Marshall and his mother kept it quiet. Curtis sits with Marshall waiting for the test results.
Scroll to Continue
Taggert confronts Jordan, accusing her of letting Trina take the fall instead of finding who's really responsible. Jordan says the case is now in the hands of the DA. Portia mentions the Title IX report and how Trina is worried she'll be expelled. Jordan says the judge won't allow the Title IX into evidence.
Jordan mentions how much of a support system Trina has and Portia agrees that Taggert has been very supportive. Jordan has a memory of Portia saying something about Taggert and Trina when they were almost killed. Jordan says she heard Portia's voice tell her about Trina and her father. Portia claims she was deprived of oxygen and was talking nonsense.
Taggert runs into Sonny, and swears Trina wouldn't do what she's accused of and Sonny agrees.
Michael and Willow worry about the hearing tomorrow and what will happen if Nina wins. The two declare they will support each other no matter what. The two have wild passionate, drawn out sex, and my fast forward button gets a good work out.
Liz tears Finn and Violet out of the picture then starts cutting into small pieces.
Cameron comes home and talks to Liz, but she appears to be in a trance. Finn heads to the house where he speaks to Liz and gets the scissors from her. Liz snaps out of it and wonders how she got there. Cameron tells her that he found her in a trance cutting up the picture. Liz says she doesn't remember any of it.
Finn says he thinks Liz is the one who's been messing up her life. Finn thinks Liz was sleep walking and Liz doesn't believe it at first. Liz starts to wonder if she was responsible for all of it and Finn reassures her. Finn promises her they'll find out what's wrong with her.

Possession and Psychiatry | Gene Veith – Patheos
Posted: at 4:19 am
The Los Angeles Times, no less, published an interesting article on demonic possession.
Lynn Hightower, in her article Exorcism is something we cant quite quit, cites reports that the number of exorcisms being requested in the Catholic church has risen considerably since the pandemic. Recounting some scary stories, she says that possession is increasingly being accepted as a reality by the psychiatric profession, with therapists sometimes co-ordinating with priests in an effort to cast out the oppressive spirits.
She says, Possession is now recognizedin the American Psychiatric Assn.s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
This is not fully accurate. She links to a discussion about planned updates to that manual. The 4th edition of that manual did include possession trance as a type of dissociative identity disorder, defined as follows:
Dissociative trance disorder: single or episodic disturbances in the state of consciousness, identity, or memory that are indigenous to particular locations and cultures. Dissociative trance involves narrowing of awareness of immediate surroundings or stereotyped behaviors or movements that are experienced as being beyond ones control.Possession trance involves replacement of the customary sense of personal identity by a new identity, attributed to the influence of a spirit, power, deity, or other person and associated with stereotyped involuntary movements or amnesia, and is perhaps the most common dissociative disorder in Asia. . . .The dissociative or trance disorder is not a normal part of a broadly accepted collective cultural or religious practice.
The 5th edition considered bolstering that description, but the author being quoted posted an addendum at the very end of his discussion: In DSM-5, Possession Trance Disorder no longer exists.
Of course, the psychiatric manual is not ascribing the condition to any supernatural causes. And these rather anemic symptoms that are listed are mild compared to what the church exorcists are seeing, as Hightower reports:
The symptoms of the possessed are always fairly consistent: Inordinate strength. Knowledge of hidden things. Speaking languages with no prior knowledge of them, sometimes backward. Foaming at the mouth. Embodying a malevolent entity that curses, makes threats and cannot tolerate the presence of sacred things, such as a crucifix. Suffering seizures, eyes that glowed yellow, a twisting distortion of limbs that seemed impossible. Testifying that something bad wanted to bloom inside them, to be them.
Baffled and frustrated psychiatrists have turned to exorcists, she says, seeking help for patients whose torment does not follow the path of schizophrenia or delusional disassociation and does not respond to treatment. She cites the best-selling psychiatrist M. Scott Peck, who dealt with some extreme cases and admitted he went from being a complete nonbeliever to a complete believer in the demonic ability to possess.
For a Lutheran take on exorcism, go here and follow the links. Here are some books on the subject:

5 things to do to unwind after a long day – NewsBytes

5 things to do to unwind after a long day
May 25, 2022, 11:36 am 2 min read
Had a long and tiring day? If you are wondering how to unwind after such hectic days, we've got your back. If you think of laying on your back and getting up when you feel good, it's probably not worked for you. Try the following methods to unwind post a long day at work and see them work the magic on you.
Warm water relaxes your muscles and helps in increasing circulation. It's a low-cost alternative to a spa massage, in the comfort of your home! To feel fancier, light some scented candles, put on a relaxing playlist on your phone, add bath salts to your tub, and soak in it for at least 10 minutes. Not only will you feel calm but also smell amazing!
Go to the park for a walk, or tend to your plants at home, but be outside. You can also go running in the park. Working long hours in closed spaces makes us anxious, spending time in nature will probably help reset your energy to be productive. Just sitting outside on the balcony or by the pool will help you unwind.
Physical activity is often the best thing to do to relax. The boost of feel-good hormones gives you a natural calm that helps reduce stress and promote relaxation and calm. Yoga is often associated with stress relief, whereas activities like running and swimming are perfect mood boosters as they help in reducing anxiety. You can also play a certain sport to unwind and chill.
Put on some relaxing music--birds chirping, water trickling down a stream, or waves crashing on a beach--that can calm your mind and slow your breathing. This doesn't have to be a special session, as you can listen to music while doing chores. Reverb songs, trance music, or any other music you enjoy will work if it makes you happy.
Pets are your free therapists! Pets are always happy to see you, so spend enough time with them. Play with them, take them out for walks and runs, and cuddle with them. Giving love also makes one feel great. Spend this time simply being next to one another instead of doing chores like taking them to the vet! Chores will bore you out.

O’Neill: On the rhythms of life (column) – The Mendocino Voice
Posted: at 4:19 am
This is our farm column from farmer Casey ONeill. ONeill is the owner operator of HappyDay Farms north of Laytonville, and a long time advocate for the cannabis community in Mendocino Co; more of his writing can be found here. The opinions expressed in this column are those of the writer. If you would like to submit a letter to the editor feel free to write to [emailprotected].
As I travel through this journey of life, I form relationships with family, friends, community. We share in the joys and tribulations, the great happenings and the tragic sorrows. We hold each other up, supporting and holding the burdens and reveling in the good times. I spent the weekend in a beautiful place, camping with community, sharing in food and drink, music and revelry.
After two years of pandemic, gatherings have an additional special feel, catching up with folks I havent seen in far too long. Changes have happened for all of us, young people have grown, beloved elders have passed on. Life continues with the inevitable passage of time, and I take a moment to reflect and feel the gratitude of human relationships and the beauty of nature.
There is something so precious nestled within and among us, so subtle that it often slips by in the hustle and bustle of busy lives. We see in each other the strengths and weaknesses of mortal, human creatures, and we make each other stronger by recognizing the shared places in which we find ourselves. We experience smiles and joy, the trickling brook, the crashing waves, the sun and sand on our skin, and we are changed for the better.
So often I fail to take the time to get out, but when I do make the effort Im always glad of the results. I draw energy from interactions with others, sharing meals, telling stories, catching up where we left off when last we crossed paths. I see the children growing older, the young people becoming adults, my peers stepping into middle age. I treasure the elders, and seek the wisdom and lessons that they offer.
Life is precious. Within the stress and intensity of the daily journey I lose sight of the depth and magic within, yet it is always there, just below the surface. Taking time out to gather reminds me of what I value, showing me a mirror so that I can assess my choices and practices.
Its been far too long since I played much music, and I found deep joy in bringing out my box drum and brushes around the campfire. I realized this weekend that Ive been playing percussion instruments for more than 25 years, and yet I still feel like I have so much to learn about music.
I had the chance to play drums with other drummers and with players of string instruments and flutes. We shared in the joy of music, the improvisation of it within the structure of rhythm and cadence. We sang old songs and made up new ones, reveling in the shared experience. Music is like life, both routine and unique, mundane and special. We find ourselves in the spaces between, looking for the pocket within the beat.
There is a trance state that comes with deep percussion, especially when combined with cannabis, mushrooms or other mind altering substances. Playing deep into the night, switching up the rhythms, leading and following each other through the beat brings a depth of soul and feeling that I value.
Music ebbs and flows in my life, sometimes a strong force that has me enjoying the group effort of practice and playing shows, and sometimes a background that I listen to but dont participate in. Sometimes I go long stretches without playing, but every time that I return to the music it is there like an old friend, ready to pick up where we left off.
Over the years Ive gotten more comfortable, able to play different types of music with the enjoyment that comes from presence in song. All else drops away, there is little thinking, just the present moment and the sounds of the instruments. That feeling when it all hits right and everyone starts smiling and nodding is one of the biggest joys in my life.
Every time I have a proper session I think to myself I want to be more regular with music, not to set it aside until the next camping trip months later. Sometimes I even stick with it, playing and practicing for a while until it slips away with the busyness of farming. This is one of those times when I feel refreshed and excited, wanting to continue playing more often. To the teachers, the players of instruments, the singers of songs; thank you! May the rhythm find you well, and as always, much love and great success to you on your journey!

Living A Double Life As Bubbles Wasn’t Easy For The Wire’s Andre Royo – /Film
Posted: at 4:19 am
HBO's "The Wire" spearheaded a new kind of drama television upon its 2002 debut, earning heaps of praise for its patient, cumulative writing and talented cast of lesser-known (at the time) actors. When series creator David Simon pitched the show to HBO's miniseries division, he envisioned a television version of The Great American Novel, writ large over a sprawling season depicting the dissolution of an American city in this case, Baltimore, where Simon spent a year deposited with the city's homicide unit for a year leading to his Edgar Award-winning novel, "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets." The show is only vaguely a cop drama; its principals include law enforcement, drug dealers, politicians, stevedores at the docks, and addicts, all illustrating (over five seasons) the colossal failure of the government-initiated war on drugs.
Far more than a simple "cops and robbers" template, "The Wire" expressed an unprecedented level of interest in its players, none of whom are exactly what they seem. One of the series' most compelling examples of this was Reginald "Bubbles" Cousins (so-named for the spit bubbles made when he's in a heroin-fueled trance), played by Andre Royo. A recovering addict, Bubbles begins the show as the sort of onscreen junkie you'd come to expect from a cop drama, but quickly reveals himself to be resourceful and empathetic with far more complexity than the old tv caricatures would previously allow. That didn't make it any easier for Royo to slip into the role, which was as taxing as it was fulfilling. Brett Martin's book "Difficult Men: Behind the Scenes of a Creative Revolution" surveys the trajectory and impact of the series, and Royo gets a few words in about his experience as Bubbles.
Royo's audition for the role of Reginald Cousins was the "Fringe" star's first chance to make an impression. Cast interviews in the Season 5 DVD extras reveal that Royo showed up to his audition only to see that everyone else was chewing gum, presumably for bubble-blowing purposes. He threw his gum out to stand out, and eventually got the part. "Difficult Men" reports that while he and much of the cast were hailed as "local heroes" whenever they went off to Baltimore clubs, the on-set experience was at times a draining one:
Separating one's self from the complex men they portray day in and day out is a difficulty stars have voiced from the late James Gandolfini in "The Sopranos" to Nate Fisher (Peter Krause) of "Six Feet Under." The intimate connections between cast and character is, if nothing else, a testament to the top-down creative compact with the narrative and the people that fuel it, part of the show's lasting power.

All the New HBO and HBO Max Movies and Shows Coming in June – TV Guide
Posted: at 4:19 am
Thandiwe Newton, Westworld
The most high-profile thing happening on HBO and HBO Max in June is the return of Westworld, which last aired in 2020 despite kind of feeling like it's been away for even longer. Season 4 doesn't kick off until June 24, but there are plenty of other new shows and movies to keep things interesting until then.
Early in the month is Irma Vep, which stars Alicia Vikander as a disillusioned actress with a new gig, a new season of the funny and vibrant animated seriesTuca & Bertie, and one of 2021's most interesting movies, Paul Schrader's The Card Counter. June also sees the premiere of two documentaries: the timely abortion film The Janes and Morgan Neville'sRoadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain.
Below, we pulled together our picks for the month, plus a list of everything else coming to HBO and HBO Max in June, and everything that's leaving HBO Max, too.
Alicia Vikander, Irma Vep
HBO Max streams all HBO shows and movies when they debut on HBO. But not all shows and movies on HBO Max make it to HBO. We'll designate HBO Max exclusives where appropriate.
Try to stay with me as I describe the deal with Irma Vep, which is a limited series adaptation of Olivier Assayas's 1996 movie of the same name, which itself is about remaking Louis Feuillade's 1915 silent film seriesLes Vampires. Once you process that, it's pretty easy to understand. In the series, Alicia Vikander takes the mantle from Maggie Cheung as the disillusioned actress starring in theLes Vampires remake. The line between what separates TV and movies continues to blur every day, but this looks great.[Trailer]
Emma Pildes and Tia Lessin's documentary follows a group of women in the pre-Roe v. Wade era who built an underground network that helped provide access to safe abortions for people with unwanted pregnancies. The organization was formed in direct opposition to state legislation that banned abortions, making this film feel unfortunately timely.[Trailer]
You might remember hearing about Roadrunner a while ago for the ethical questions that sprung from the news that director Morgan Nevilleused an AI model to create audio of the documentary's subject, Anthony Bourdain, who died by suicide in 2018, "speaking" lines that Bourdain had only ever written down. At the very least, you can decide for yourself where you stand on the issue by watching the film, which explores Bourdain's life and legacy.[Trailer]
Paul Schrader loves making movies about troubled men who let out their messed up little thoughts in diaries. (He wrote Taxi Driver and wrote-directed First Reformed.) Oscar Isaac stars in Schrader's latest as a former serviceman whose quiet life of gambling and journaling is complicated when he meets a kid (Tye Sheridan) seeking revenge on a mutual enemy.[Trailer]
This is not the 1991 Steve Martin Father of the Bride, but this 2022 version follows a very similar plot. This time, though, it centers around a Cuban-American family and stars Andy Garcia in the role of the father whose daughter is getting married.[Trailer]
If you missed Tuca & Bertie's second season when it aired on Adult Swim, now you can enjoy the antics of Ali Wong and Tiffany Haddish's anthropomorphic bird girls at your leisure. It continues to expertly and sensitively explore issues like sexual assault and complicated female friendships, all while being incredibly funny and vibrantly animated.[Trailer]
If you told me Westworldwas last on TV in 2005, I'd probably believe you. (Just kidding, Westworld premiered in 2016.) If you can believe it, though, the series was last on TV in May 2020, and now it's returning for Season 4. I can't explain the passage of time to you or to myself, but I can remind anyone reading this that when we last caught up with this universe, the Man in Black (Ed Harris) got killed by his robot doppelgnger, and Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) sacrificed her memories to destroy the evil machine controlling humanity. Season 3 ended with a big shrug from a lot of fans, but this show has a way of sucking you back in.[Trailer]

Barbados tops ‘economically-free’ countries in the region – Barbados Today
Posted: at 4:17 am
The Barbados economy is now ranked mostly free with an overall score of 71.3 out of 100 and a ranking of 28th freest out of 177 countries in the latest Index of Economic Freedom.
This is a massive improvement from the moderately free ranking with an overall score of 61.4 out of 100 and a position of 92nd out of 180 countries, in the 2020 report.
In 2019 index, Barbados was also ranked moderately free with a position of 67th out of 180 countries.
Released earlier this year by the Heritage Foundation, the index of economic freedom, which is based on data from the prior year, is based on four broad sets of indicators rule of law, limited government, which refers to fiscal freedom and government spending; regulatory efficiency, which includes business freedom, labour freedom and monetary freedom; and open markets, which refers to trade freedom, investment freedom and financial freedom.
Bridgetowns ranking puts it at number one in the Caribbean when it comes to economic freedom and second in Latin America and the Caribbean combined, behind Chile, which is ranked at 20th with an overall score of 74.4.
Other Caribbean and Latin American countries are ranked in the category of moderately free or mostly unfree.
According to the report, the seven economies considered free in ascending order are Singapore, Switzerland, Ireland, New Zealand, Luxembourg, Taiwan and Estonia, who all scored 80 and above.
The five countries with the most repressed economies are said to be North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Sudan and Zimbabwe.
Barbados was assessed and scored in 12 areas out of 100, including property rights (72.6), government integrity (68.7), judicial effectiveness (88.2), tax burden (80.6), government spending (70.8), fiscal health (79.7), business freedom (63.4), labour freedom (63.4), monetary freedom (58.4), investment freedom (70) and financial freedom (60).
Economic freedom is defined by the Heritage Foundation as the fundamental right of every human to control his or her own labour and property.
In an economical-free society, individuals are free to work, produce, consume, and invest in any way they please. In economically-free societies, governments allow labour, capital and goods to move freely, and refrain from coercion or constraint of liberty beyond the extent necessary to protect and maintain liberty itself, it added.

Navy’s MQ-8C Fire Scout Operating in Westpac; MQ-8Bs to Be Retired – Seapower – SEAPOWER Magazine Online
Posted: at 4:17 am
Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class Corie Wooldridge, from San Marcos, California, performs ground turns on an MQ-8C Fire Scout, attached to the Wildcards of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 23, assigned to the Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Jackson (LCS 6). U.S. NAVY / Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Charles DeParlier
ARLINGTON, Va. The Navys MQ-8C version of its Fire Scout unmanned helicopter is now operating on its first deployment to the Western Pacific, the second deployment of the type so far. Meanwhile, the Navy is proceeding with plans to accelerate retirement of the fleet of older MQ-8B versions in fiscal 2023.
The Independence-class littoral combat ship USS Jackson (LCS 6) is operating with a detachment from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 23, which includes an MQ-8C. The Jackson in the first LCS deployed to the Western Pacific since the summer of 2020 and began operations with the MQ-8C on April 20. Two other LCSs are deployed in the Indo-Pacific region with the older MQ-8B version
The Northrop Grumman MQ-8C, based on the Bell 407 airframe, can carry the Leonardo ZPY-8 Osprey radar, the Teledyne FLIR Brite Star II electro-optical/infrared sensor and the Automatic Information System for surface search and tracking, said Scott Weinpel, Northrop Grummans business development director for Fire Scout, in a May 23 interview with Seapower. It can augment the MH-60S Seahawk manned helicopter also deployed with the helicopter squadron detachment.
Weinpel said the COBRA II (Coastal Battlefield Reconnaissance and Analysis II) sensor is being developed to give the MQ-8C a day/night mine-hunting capability over a larger area and in a deeper water column than the COBRA I deployed on the MQ-8B.
The MQ-8C first deployed in December 2021 on the Freedom-class LCS USS Milwaukee (LCS 5) in the U.S. 4th Fleet area of operations.
The Navy has 36 MQ-8Cs on strength. In the Navys fiscal 2023 budget request, the service plans to place about half of the MQ-8Cs in long-term preservation, Weinpel said, attributing the decision to the Navys budget priorities.
We really are hoping that, with our mission extension efforts and the capabilities and enhancements that we want to incorporate with Fire Scout, that the future looks bright, especially as we look towards the future [Constellation-class] frigate, where Fire Scout is incorporated into [the Navys] Capabilities Development Documents for FFG 62, he said. We fully expect that we will be a part of that requirement.
It would be an appropriate time to pull those [MQ-8Cs] out of preservation and incorporate them with that [frigate] fleet, he said, noting that the MQ-8C could easily pivot to the antisubmarine warfare mission set, deploying sonobuoys and relaying the acoustic data that they would collect to the mother ship or another ASW platform.
Weinpel also said Northrop Grumman could relatively easily restart production of the MQ-8C if required.
He also confirmed the Navys decision to accelerate retirement of its fleet of MQ-8Bs to fiscal 2023 from 2024, also a result of budget pressure.He said the retired MQ-8Bs could be adapted to homeland security roles, including service with Customs and Border Protection.
Weinpel said the MQ-8C performed well on its first deployment.
We had great feedback from the operators of the HSC-22 detachment, he said. They were able to use the radar and EO/IR, [and] had great TCDL [Tactical Common Data Link] operational use, so they were able to fly out to the maximum range of the Fire Scout and then they were also distribute some of the information that was getting down to the Fire Scout control station to other areas of the ship where it became relevant as they were able to conduct some counter-narcotics missions.
Earlier this month, an MQ-8C provided bomb hit analysis for a Hellfire Longbow missile shoot from the Independence-class LCS USS Montgomery (LCS 8).

Gov. Reynolds releases statement on 2022 Legislative Session | Office of the Governor of Iowa – Governor Kim Reynolds
Posted: at 4:17 am
Today, Gov. Reynolds released the following statements on the conclusion of the 2022 legislative session:This legislative session, I charged the House and Senate to work together to further advance Iowas strong growth through policies that cut taxes, invest in biofuels and strengthen our families, communities, schools, workforce and economy. Im proud that our state is leading the nation in many of these areas and delivering on the promises we made to the people of Iowa.
Iowas economy is expanding, our communities are flourishing, and our profile is rising. None of that would be possible without the businesses, community leaders, and educational institutions that form the bedrock of our communities. Most of all, it wouldnt be possible without our people and the communities they call home. Thanks to them, theres never been a better time to invest in Iowa, to move to Iowa, and to believe in Iowa. They are the source of our strength.
Lt. Governor Gregg released the following statement:
"Governor Reynolds leadership has again benefited Iowans greatly and improved their everyday lives in areas that matter the most.Historic tax cuts, expandedchild careavailability, supporting public education, focusing efforts to get Iowans employed are just a few of the major initiatives passed this session that continue to make Iowa a great place to live, work and raise a family."
Key legislative priorities that passed during the 2022 Legislative Session:
Tax Relief for Hardworking Iowans
"Over the last five years, we've dramatically cut Iowans' taxes three times. It's no coincidence that during this same time, we've also earned a nationwide reputation for economic opportunity and widespread, broad-based prosperity. When I took office, Iowa had the 6th highest income tax rate in the nation at almost 9%. Now, after three historic tax reform packages, its set to be fourth lowest at 3.9%--flat and fair. And weve eliminated taxes on retirement income, starting next year. Weve also reformed our corporate tax rate, once one of the highest in the nation at 12% now going down to 5.5%. Heres what that all means for Iowans: the bill I signed this year will save taxpayers $1.9 billion a year. And if you add up the savings from all three major tax bills Ive signed since taking office, thats nearly $3 billion per year.
Generational state tax reform that benefits all Iowans
3.9% flat income tax for all Iowans. Individual tax reform is projected to save Iowa taxpayers more than $1.67 billion by tax year 2026. (HF2317)
Fully repeals state taxes on retirement income in 2023. Beginning January 1, 2023, an estimated 294,624 Iowa taxpayers will see their retirement tax liability eliminated. (HF2317)
Exempts farmer retirement incomeon either cash rent or capital gains tax. (HF2317)
Common sense, pro-business corporate income tax reform includingbanking franchise taxreform, coupled with a reduction in refundable corporate tax credits. (HF2317 &SF2367)
Exempts diapers and feminine hygiene products from sales tax (SF2367)
Clears the Solar Energy Tax Credit waitlist (SF2367)
Re-Employing Iowans and Expanding Child Care
"In Iowa, were taking bold action to ensure every employable Iowan finds a meaningful and fulfilling career. Were turning our unemployment system into a re-employment system. We passed legislation that caps unemployment benefits at 16 weeks and took action to give job seekers one-on-one career coaching. In short, were helping Iowans get back to work sooner.
Modernizes purpose of unemployment benefits to focus on reemployment (HF2355)
Reduces weeks of regular unemployment from 26 to 16 weeks, and plant closure unemployment from 39 to 26 weeks to encourage quicker return to the workforce (HF2355)
Prevents an employers account from being charged for an overpayment of unemployment benefits, if an employers failure to respond in a timely manner was due to insufficient notification by IWD (HF2355)
Defines employee misconduct for unemployment matters to create consistent unemployment decisions (HF2355)
Encourages return to work more quickly by accelerating the prior wage percentage reduction in the definition of suitable work more quickly (HF2355)
Allows direct appeal of an ALJs unemployment decision to district court to provide swifter final resolution of claims (HF2355)
Reforms Voluntary Shared Work (VSW) Program, preventing abuse and allowing use with part-time employees (HF2355)

Waives drivers license fees for 100% disabled veterans (SF2383)
Waives CDL fees for veterans (SF2383)
Expands CDL third-party testing (SF2337)
Provides free public parking for medal of honor recipients, ex-prisoners of war, purple heart recipients, and disabled veterans (SF2383)
Promoting Access to Child Care
Last year I convened the Governors Child Care Task Force to address the ongoingchild carechallenge in our state. Working parents need to be able to re-enter the workforce and know their children will be well cared for. Already weve allocated over $500 million to supportchild carein our state and created more than 9,000 newchild carespots in just one year. But were far from finished.
Opens additionalchild careslots by establishing new minimum child-to-staff ratios inchild carecenters of 1:7 for children aged 2 and 1:10 for children aged 3 (HF2198)
Addresses workforce challenges by allowingchild carecenter employees who are sixteen years of age or older to work without additional supervision (HF2198)
Incentivizeschild careproviders to accept more Child Care Assistance (CCA) families by allowing parents to pay the difference between CCA rates and rates charged to private pay families (HF2127)
Allows a parent with a permanent disabilityto accessCCA sothe other parent can pursue employment. Previously,a parent with only a temporary disability could qualify for CCA. (HF2252)
Delivering for Iowa Agriculture & Cutting Red Tape
The biofuels bill I signed into law this year is a testament to the idea that good-faith discussion, negotiation, and compromise can pay off in a big way. This historic bill makes Iowa the first state in the nation to adopt an E15 standard, setting the stage for the single largest expansion of biofuels in our states history. Biofuels account for more than $4 billion of Iowas GDP and support tens of thousands of jobs in our state. I proposed the bill because Iowas farmers and biofuel producers are the economic backbone of our state. Because Iowans and all Americans deserve access to a reliable, less-expensive, and environmentally friendly option at the pump. Iowa has delivered and in doing so, weve sent a message that cant be ignored: Americas energy is growing right here in Iowas fields.
Increases access to higher blends of biofuels through market-based principles and doubles funding for the Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program (HF2128)
Eliminates unnecessary and burdensome environmental and ag regulations (SF2176/HF2343/SF2232/SF2245)
Preserves the Iowa Energy Center and refocuses efforts to research and develop strategies for carbon management (SF2325)
Creates a Choose Iowa program to support & promote products grown on Iowa farms (HF2581)
Improves CDL testing and creates a permit to allow oversize & overweight hauling in Iowa (SF2337/SF2376)
Supporting Quality Educational Opportunities for Iowa Children
This legislative session, for the 12th year in a row, weve increased funding for K-12 public education. While Im disappointed that the House chose not to pass my proposal to give families educational freedom and school choice, Im not backing down from this fight. Thats why well continue to invest in public schools while empowering parents to choose whats best for their child. Parental choice is not a zero-sum game, and my focus continues to be raising the quality of education in every Iowa school and for every Iowa child.
Increases per pupil state funding for Fiscal Year 2023 (HF2316)
Establishes a special task force to provide support for special education in private educational institutions. (SF2197)
Expands open enrollment (HF2589)

Protecting Girls Sports
Requires schools at all levels to designate sporting events as male, female, or co-ed. Only students who are female according to their birth certificate will be eligible to compete ingirlssports. No student will be prevented from playing a sport that matches his or her biological sex, or a sport designated as co-ed(HF2416)
Promoting Strong Families
Furthersolidifies the State of Iowa as a leader in implementing the federal Family First Prevention Services Act.Aligning Iowas child welfare system withFamily Firsthas successfully resulted in significantly fewer children entering foster care, more children placed in safe,family-based settings with relatives or fictive kin, and fewer children and youth placed in congregate care settings.(HF2507)

Requires court orders regarding sibling placement to be attached to the adoption petition for a child whose parents have had their parental rights terminated. (HF2252)
Requires preplacement reports to include whether the child to be adopted is based on their parents losing parental rights, whether the child has siblings and an ongoing relationship with them, or if a court order has found that contact between the siblings is in the best interest of each sibling. (HF2252)
Requires that siblings of a person to be adopted receive notice of the adoption hearing at least 20 days prior to the hearing if the court finds contact between the siblings is in the best interest of each sibling. (HF2252)

Continuing modernization of state government

Condenses four sales and use tax filing dates to just two (monthly and annual) (SF2367)
Takes the first step to align the Iowa Department of Public Health and the Iowa Department of Human Services into a single agency, the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services. With extensive connections between Iowas public health and human services efforts, alignment integrates programs, practices and policies to improve delivery of services and more effectively helps all Iowans live safe, stable and healthy lives. (HF2587).
