Iowa Regulators Order $2.3 Million Restitution in Alleged Ponzi Scheme 2025-03-17The Iowa insurance commissioner has ordered a Johnston company and its owner to repay $2.3 million that 15 investors lost in an oil-and-gas operation that regulators have likened to a Ponzi scheme.

Iowa Prevails in Challenge to Biden's Title IX Rules 2025-03-17Iowa has won its challenge to a Biden administration policy changing rules for school sex- and gender-based discrimination. The new rules would have permitted colleges to use a lower standard to find someone guilty of sexual misconduct and expanded protections under the law for pregnant and LGBTQ students. Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird joined a lawsuit that argued the rules would force schools to let transgender and nonbinary students share locker rooms and restrooms with female students and would penalize students who oppose transgender rights on religious grounds. The Biden administration has now abandoned its appeal of the court's preliminary injunction blocking the rules.
