Bill > HF390

This bill modifies existing requirements for physical examinations of personnel working in licensed or registered child care facilities. Specifically, the bill mandates that all personnel must have a physical examination within six months before or after beginning employment, with the examination conducted by a licensed physician or physician assistant and including communicable disease tests. The bill clarifies that these physical examinations must be repeated every three years following the initial examination. Importantly, the bill specifies that controlled medical conditions that do not impact job performance will not disqualify an individual from employment in a child care facility. The changes aim to ensure the health and safety of child care workers while providing flexibility in the examination timing and maintaining reasonable employment standards. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to all licensed or registered child care facilities in Iowa, updating the existing health screening requirements for personnel in these settings.
