A new proposed legislation is pushing to allow adults under 21 in bars all over Iowa. State Senator Wally Horn introduced a bipartisan bill that would allow 19 and 20 year olds into bars/restaurants with a liquor license.

He also suggests that this will help keep them away from house parties where it is a unsafe environment while downtown has police paroling constantly. Horn is hoping to have this into effect as early as July. To read more click on the link below.
