STATE TORT CLAIMS ACT FILED IN BOTH HOUSES Supreme Court Denies Increase In Probate Fees By Rule As stated in last month's issue of THE NEWS BULLETIN, the Board of Governors at its meet- ing held In Des Moines on December 1, unani- mously approved bills providing for a state tort claims act and a joint legislative study committee to revise and re-codify the Iowa law relative to private corporations. Due to a difference of opinion among mem- bers of the association relative to the alimony and child support lien bill, that bill has been withdrawn from the association's legislative program by direction of the Board of Gover- nors and will not be submitted to this session of the General Assembly. The headquarters office has been Informed that the Association's Legislative Committee and officers held a meeting on January 18 with all of the lawyer legislators in both houses and with the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate and with the majority adid minority floor leaders in each house. As of this writing, the bills have been filed with the appropriate committees in each house and every effort is being exerted to have the bill brought out as committee bills. There Is general agreement among the mem- bers of the bar that the present method of handling claims against the state under which claims are presented to the claims committees of the legislature Is not satisfactory. The claims generally do not receive the consider- ation that they merit for the reason that in the short one hundred days of the session members of the General Assembly cannot possibly give the attention and consideration to the claims which a judicial determination would provide. The proposed act provides a fair and orderly procedure for the handling of such claims, the legislation Is just and Is modeled upon, although not identical with, the highly successful Fed- eral Torts Claims Act. Last month's Issue of THE NEwS BULLETIN contained an article relative to the proposed bill to provide for a legislative study commit- tee to revise and codify the Iowa Corporation Law. The members of the bar are in general agreement that a new and complete corpora- tion code is badly needed in Iowa, not only because the present law is antiquated and has not kept pace with developments in taxation and other fields, but also the industrial develop- ment of our state is hindered because of our cumbersome corporation laws. The Board of Governors of the association has expressed its intention to make the facilities of the Iowa State Bar Association completely available to such a study committee if the bill is passed. As reported last month in THE NEWS BULLE- TIN, the Special Committee on Statutory Fees and the Advisory Committee on Rules to the Supreme Court have recommended to the Supreme Court that probate fees be in- creased by court rule, the rule to be filed with the state legislature under the court's rule- making power. The officers of the association have been advised that the Advisory Commit- tee met with the court and that the court disapproved the proposed rule and refused to adopt the same for filing with the legislature. In view of this development, consideration is! now being given by the officers of the Asso- ciation and the Board of Governors as to whether an affirmative approach to increase probate fees should be made in the form of a separate bill for that purpose or whether the association should recommend, in the event the Corporate Study Committee bill passes successfully, a Legislative Study Committee to revise and re-codify the Iowa Probate Code. Such a revision would undoubtedly include con- sideration with respect to fees. Further de- -.velopmens in this respect will be reported In further issues of THE NEWS BULLETIN. Every member of the association will be ad- vised by letter direct from the headquarters office at the time the associations bills appear on the calendar in each house and the request will be made at that time that each n..mb' and each county bar association again contact their representatives and senators urging adop- tion of the legislation. It is anticipated that the State Tort Claims Act will meet with difficulty in the House. It will be recalled that this bill successfully passed the Senate in the last ses- sion but failed passage in the House. There- fore, in this session an effort is being made to first pass the bill in the House and then take it up with the Senate. All members will be (Continued on page 2) NOW AVAILABLE 1955 IOWA LEGAL DIRECTORY The Iowa Legal Directory for 1955 was released on January 1, containing the latest roster of attorneys and law firms, with their addresses and phone numbers, the state and county officials who will hold office In 1955, including the judges of the various courts; also the jurisdiction and terms of the U.
