Bill > SSB1029

This Study Bill mandates that employers in Iowa must provide "reasonable accommodations" to employees experiencing medical conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth, upon the employee's request and with a doctor's advice. "Reasonable accommodations" are defined as modifications that allow the employee to perform their job duties, such as making the worksite accessible, altering equipment, restructuring job tasks, or adjusting work hours, as long as these changes do not create an "undue hardship" or excessive burden on the employer's business. The bill also indicates that penalties will apply for non-compliance, though the specific penalties are not detailed in this excerpt.
