Iowa Senate Passes Bill To Give Employees Time Off For Caucuses
Bill Faces Strong Opposition In The House
Yesterday, the Iowa Senate voted 26-24 in favor of a Senate Bill that would allow employees to take unpaid time off to vote in the Presidential caucus without penalty from their employer. The bill now goes onto the Iowa State House where it will face tough opposition in the Republican controlled House.
Opponents say that the bill is invalid as caucuses are held by Iowa’s two major political parties and not held by the state of Iowa. Supporters believe it will encourage participation in the Presidential Caucuses by Iowans and strengthen Iowa’s first in the nation status.

I can't find any article or record of it passing, so I guess Republicans in the Iowa House of Representatives which is controlled by Republicans killed the bill.
This is unfortunate, because working people who don't have the luxury of being able to take off from work without employer's permission, can't participate in the Presidential Caucus of Iowa. I think these Caucuses are a strange thing that excludes a lot of voters from being able to participate in the selection of party Presidential candidates.A Nation Without Borders Is Not A Nation - Ronald Reagan
