                             AN ACT
 RELATED TO THE COMPENSATION OF ELECTIVE COUNTY OFFICERS.

 BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:
    Section 1.  Section 331.401, Code 2015, is amended by adding
 the following new subsection:
    NEW SUBSECTION.  4.  The board shall not approve for payment
 to the auditor, treasurer, recorder, sheriff, county attorney,
 or to a supervisor a separation allowance or severance pay.
    Sec. 2.  Section 331.434, subsection 5, Code 2015, is amended
 to read as follows:
    5.  a.  After the hearing, the board shall adopt by
 resolution a budget and certificate of taxes for the next
 fiscal year and shall direct the auditor to properly certify
 and file the budget and certificate of taxes as adopted.
 The board shall not adopt a tax in excess of the estimate
 published, except a tax which is approved by a vote of the
 people, and a greater tax than that adopted shall not be levied
 or collected. A county budget and certificate of taxes adopted
 for the following fiscal year becomes effective on the first
 day of that year.
    b.  If the budget to be approved pursuant to paragraph "a"
  contains any increase in compensation from the county budget
 for the prior fiscal year for one or more elective county
 offices, the board shall first adopt a separate detailed
  resolution to specifically approve any such increase for
 inclusion in the budget.
