Iowa Code 331.301(6) preempts counties and cities from adopting minimum wage rates that exceed the Iowa state minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
House File 295, codified at Iowa Code section 331.301(6) and section 364.3, prohibits counties and cities from adopting any ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment that sets minimum wages or other terms and conditions of employment exceeding state or federal law. The 2017 law nullified higher minimum wage ordinances in Polk, Linn, Johnson, and Wapello counties. Iowa's minimum wage remains tied to the federal floor of $7.25 per hour. Local governments retain authority over public-sector wages they directly pay.
Local ordinances setting higher minimum wages are void; county or city enforcement is barred by state law.
