House and Senate negotiators at the Iowa Statehouse have reached a deal on a $6.483 billion budget for the 2014 fiscal year that should pave the way for the end of 2013 legislative session this week, key lawmakers said Tuesday.
House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, R-Hiawatha, and Sen. Robert Dvorsky, D-Coralville, chairman of the Iowa Senate Appropriations Committee, confirmed the budget figures, which are expected to represent about a 3 percent increase over current state spending.
Paulsen said that for the coming school year, the budget provides a 2 percent increase in basic school aid, plus an additional one-time increase of 2 percent. For the second school year, the budget would raise basic school aid by 4 percent.
