Mark Segebart (born 1950) is the Iowa State Senator from the 6th District. A Republican, he has served in the Iowa Senate since 2013. He currently lives in Vail, Iowa.
As of June 2016, Segebart serves on the following committees in the Iowa Senate: Appropriations, Veterans Affairs, and Human Resources. He also serves on the Health and Human Services Appropriations Subcommittee, as well as the Medical Assistance Projections and Assessment Council, and the Center for Rural Health and Primary Care Advisory Committee, the Council on Human Services, and the Governmental Public Health Advisory Council.
During the 2017 legislative session, Segebart voted for House File 295 which eliminates local control in municipalities that voted to increase their own minimum wage locally. Segebart's vote will cause the minimum wage to be lowered in four counties which had already voted to raise their minimum wage (Johnson, Linn, Wapello, and Polk). Estimates show that at least 64,300 residents of Iowa will have their wages effectively lowered, including 35,800 to 36,000 in Polk County, 10,100 in Johnson County, and 18,400 in Linn County.
Segebart voted in support of House File 625, which eliminated the requirement that parents report on their state taxes whether or not they have healthcare for their children. In this bill, Segebart also voted to eliminate the requirement that parents apply for healthcare coverage, such as Hawk-i or Medicaid, for their children.
Segebart voted for an amended form of Senate File 481. This bill eliminated elements of local control by requiring a local officer to comply and detain an immigrant who is guilty of three misdemeanors, non-violent felonies, and felonies until ICE arrives. This bill was opposed by a number of organizations in Iowa, including the Iowa Police Chief Association, the Iowa Catholic Conference, the Iowa Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, the Episcopal Diocese of Iowa, the Iowa Coalition against Sexual Assault, and the Iowa State Bar Association.
