Ybarra talks votes on drug testing, police body cams

OLYMPIA — Rep. Alex Ybarra, R-Quincy, said he has been thinking about a couple of bills he recently cast votes on that are working their way out of the legislature and toward the governor’s desk. It’s all part of this year’s very busy legislative session, the Basin legislator said. Senate Bill 5123, sponsored by Sen. Karen Keiser, D-Des Moines, bans pre-employment drug testing for cannabis. It passed the Senate 28-21 and the House 57-41. Ybarra was one of those 41 to say no to the bill.
