Bill > HF2676

This bill, known as the "Iowa Make America Healthy Again Act," introduces several health-related provisions, including requiring physicians practicing in various specialties to complete at least one hour of continuing education on nutrition and metabolic health every four years for license renewal, mandating that medical schools require at least forty hours of coursework on nutrition and metabolic health for graduation starting in 2028, and establishing a "Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children Program" (Summer EBT) to provide food assistance to eligible children during the summer months. It also updates school food and beverage regulations by prohibiting certain artificial dyes and preservatives in meals served by school districts and charter schools, and expands the definition of "epinephrine delivery system" to include nasal sprays, allowing for their broader availability in facilities and schools for emergency treatment of anaphylaxis. Furthermore, the bill sets limits on daily digital instruction time for elementary students, requires schools to adopt technology use policies, and establishes a working group to study the impact of school-provided technology on students in grades six through twelve. Additionally, it mandates the inclusion of the Presidential Physical Fitness Test in physical education curricula and adjusts daily and weekly physical activity requirements for students in different grade levels, while also allowing for credit for participation in the legislative page program. Finally, the bill enacts the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, allowing licensed psychologists to practice across state lines through telepsychology and temporary in-person services under specific conditions, and makes ivermectin available over-the-counter without a prescription.
