Representatives of the Iowa Beverage Association and the Iowa Grocery Industry released a poll they say shows a majority of Iowans want to modernize the 40-year-old bottle deposit law. The two groups have been trying for several years to make changes in the law without success. The poll was conducted by the Tarrance Group, and its vice president, Brian Nienaber talked about the results in a conference call with reporters.
He says they found that 97 percent of the people in the poll were aware of iowa’s deposit law.
Nienaber says they asked a series of questions to gauge how people would like to see the law changed.
Efforts to change the bottle bill have been going on for a decade or more. Representatives of the I-B-A and I-G-A says this latest poll gives them support to push legislators to make changes in the law.
