Iowa’s DOGE task force recommends performance pay and pension changes, but final decisions await Gov. Reynolds and lawmakers.
The Iowa DOGE task force, created in February 2025 to boost government efficiency, has submitted final recommendations to Governor Kim Reynolds, though the report remains unpublished.
The group, led by business leaders including Emily Schmitt of Sukup Manufacturing, proposed performance-based pay for teachers and public employees, a shift from defined-benefit to defined-contribution retirement plans, and changes to the Public Employees’ Retirement System.
Some recommendations have faced criticism from public sector groups and lawmakers over feasibility and impact on retention.
The governor is reviewing the report, and its release and potential implementation depend on her decision and future legislative action.
The task force’s suggestions are not binding.
