New law bans city, county licenses or fees on temp businesses run by kids

News

July 7th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Under a new state law, kids who mow lawns, walk dogs or launch other temporary businesses don’t have to pay any business-related fees to cities or counties. Representative Jon Jacobsen of Council Bluffs calls it the Youth Entrepreneurship Act.

Under the new law, cities and counties cannot require permits, licenses or any fees for businesses run by Iowans under the age of 18 – as long as the business operates for no more than 89 days every year. The Iowa Senate gave the proposal unanimous support. Senator Roby Smith of Davenport was the only senator who spoke during senate consideration of the policy.

The proposal got the support of 79 House members, but a dozen voted against it. Representative Mary Wolfe of Clinton says the law is unnecessary because cities and counties aren’t imposing fees or requiring kids to get licenses or permits for their temporary businesses.

LAST year the legislature passed a law that forbids local city or county policies that require kids who run food stands to get permits or licenses. In 2011, Coralville police shut down three child-operated lemonade stands as thousands of bicyclists on RAGBRAI came through town because the kids didn’t have city permits to operate.

UPDATE: State orders Adventureland Raging River ride closed until fatal accident investigation completed

News

July 6th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The State Labor Commissioner has ordered the Adventureland ride that was the site of a fatal accident this weekend closed until an investigation is completed. Earlier today (Tuesday), state officials released five years’ worth of satisfactory inspection reports of the ride.

The Raging River ride was inspected last Friday. The inspector found “no code violations at this time” according to a notation at the bottom of the inspection report. Nineteen different items on the ride are listed as satisfactory, including the chains and belts that run the ride as well as procedures for training the ride’s operators and responding to emergencies. Inspection reports from previous years were also released, showing the ride has passed safety checks dating back to 2017.

An 11-year-old boy died and his older brother is in critical condition after one of the rafts on the Raging River overturned Saturday. Altoona officials have not released where the children are from, but the Associated Press reports recent court documents list a Cedar Rapids address. The boys’ parents were also injured on the ride.

Guy Cook, an attorney representing Adventureland’s owners, says the Raging River ride was voluntarily shut down immediately after the accident. Cook says safety is the bedrock of the park’s operations and there has never before been a GUEST fatality associated with the ride. An Adventureland employee died in 2016 after being knocked into the ride’s canal and repeatedly battered by a raft.
