| HF620 | A bill for an act relating to the production of psilocybin and the administration of psilocybin to persons with post-traumatic stress disorder, and providing penalties.(See HF 978.) | This bill relates to the production of psilocybin and administration of psilocybin to persons with post-traumatic stress disorder. The bill requires a psilocybin production establishment or a qualified therapy provider location, defined in the bill, to include an inventory control system that tracks psilocybin product, defined in the bill, in real time; maintains access records; and includes a video recording system. The bill requires a psilocybin production establishment or qualified therapy provider location to allow the department of health and human services (department) to access the inventory control system at any time. The bill requires a state employer or political subdivision employer to inform an employee or prospective employee prior to assigning a duty related to the administration of the bill that the employee’s or prospective employee’s job duties may require the employee or prospective employee to engage in conduct in violation of the criminal laws of the United States. The bill creates within the department the psilocybin production establishment licensing board (board), with members appointed by the director of the department. The board shall consist of a member of the public with knowledge of psilocybin, a member with knowledge and experience in the pharmaceutical or nutraceutical manufacturing industry, a member representing law enforcement, a member who is a chemist or researcher with experience in manufacturing and who is associated with a research university, a member who has a background in fungus or mushroom cultivation and processing, and the director of the department or the director’s designee, who shall serve as the chairperson of the board and a nonvoting member, except in the case of a tied vote. The bill prohibits a person from serving on the board if the person has certain financial interests related to psilocybin. Members of the board shall serve a term of four years, except that initial members of the board shall be appointed for staggered terms such that the director appoints two or three board members every two years. The director shall fill vacancies in the board for the balance of the unexpired term. Members of the board shall serve without compensation, although they may be reimbursed for actual expenses, and the director may remove a member of the board for cause, neglect of duty, inefficiency, or malfeasance. The board is not subject to automatic dissolution pursuant to Code section 4A.5 (boards and governmental entities —— dissolution). The board shall meet as called by the chairperson to review psilocybin license applications, conduct public hearings on applications, and make determinations on license applications. The bill requires the board to meet if a psilocybin production establishment undergoes certain changes and annually to consider license renewal applications. The bill prohibits a person from operating a psilocybin production establishment unless the person holds a license issued by the board. The bill requires the department to adopt rules for solicitation and evaluation of license applications. The bill also requires an applicant for a license to submit the proposed name and address of the establishment, the names and addresses of certain persons associated with the establishment, an operating plan, a statement that the applicant will obtain a performance bond, an application fee, and a description of any investigatory or adverse action previously taken against the applicant in relation to any of the applicant’s psilocybin-related operations or businesses. The bill prohibits a psilocybin production establishment from operating within 1,000 feet of a community location, defined in the bill, or 500 feet of an area that is zoned as primarily residential. The bill allows the board to waive these limitations by up to 20 percent. Upon approval of an application for a license, the bill requires the applicant to pay an initial licensing fee and the department to inform the department of public safety. The bill allows a psilocybin production establishment to be located at the same location as a medical cannabidiol producer and the board may grant preference to an applicant who currently holds a medical cannabidiol producer license. If the board receives more than one application for a psilocybin production establishment license in the same city or town, the board shall consult with the local land use authority prior to issuing a license. The bill prohibits the board from issuing a license to certain persons. The bill allows the board to revoke a license for certain violations. Fees collected by the department shall be deposited into the general fund of the state. If the municipality or county where the psilocybin production establishment will be located requires a land use permit, the bill requires a licensee to submit a copy of an approved land use permit within 120 days of issuance of the license. The bill prohibits the board from issuing more than four licenses to operate an independent psilocybin testing laboratory and allows the board to operate an independent psilocybin testing laboratory. A psilocybin production establishment is not transferable or assignable, and the board’s authority to issue a license is plenary and not subject to review. The bill requires the division of criminal investigation of the department of public safety to conduct a thorough investigation of each applicant for a psilocybin production establishment license. The bill requires the board to begin accepting license applications on July 1, 2026. The board shall renew a license if the licensee continues to meet the requirements for initial licensure, the board does not identify a significant failure of compliance or grounds for revocation, and the licensee pays a renewal fee. The bill requires a person applying for a psilocybin production establishment license or license renewal to submit a proposed operating plan, including certain information about the facility, the facility’s officers and employees, a security plan, a description of the inventory control system, and storage protocols. The bill requires psilocybin cultivation facilities and psilocybin testing laboratories to submit additional information particular to the type of psilocybin production establishment. The bill prohibits a person from acting as a psilocybin production establishment or qualified therapy provider agent unless the person is registered as a psilocybin production establishment agent with the board. The bill prohibits certain persons from acting as a psilocybin production establishment agent. The bill requires the board to issue a psilocybin production establishment agent registration to a person if the psilocybin production establishment that will employ the agent submits an application and pays a fee on behalf of the person. The prospective agent shall also undergo a criminal background investigation. A psilocybin production establishment agent shall comply with a certification standard adopted by the board. A psilocybin production establishment agent registration is valid for two years and may be renewed. The bill requires a psilocybin production establishment agent to carry the agent’s registration card at all times while on the premises of the psilocybin production establishment or when transporting psilocybin. There is a rebuttable presumption a person carrying a psilocybin production establishment agent registration card while in possession of psilocybin possesses the psilocybin legally. A psilocybin production establishment agent who fails to carry a psilocybin production establishment agent registration card while required to do so is guilty of a simple misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $100 for a first or second offense in a two-year period and a simple misdemeanor punishable as provided by law for a third or subsequent offense in a two-year period. A simple misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than 30 days and a fine of at least $105 but not more than $855. The board may fine a psilocybin production establishment or qualified therapy provider that employs a psilocybin production establishment agent a fine for each violation. The bill requires a psilocybin production establishment to operate in accordance with the operating plan submitted by the psilocybin production establishment and to inform the department prior to implementing any changes to the plan. The bill requires a psilocybin production establishment to operate in a facility that is accessible only by an individual with a valid psilocybin production establishment registration card, except that a psilocybin production establishment may authorize a person who is at least 18 years of age who is not a psilocybin production establishment agent to access the psilocybin production establishment if the psilocybin production establishment tracks and monitors the individual at all times. A psilocybin production establishment shall not employ a person who is under 21 years of age or who has been convicted of a misdemeanor for drug distribution or any felony. The bill requires a psilocybin production establishment to have a single, secure public entrance and a security system with a backup power source. The bill allows the department to inspect the facility and records of a psilocybin production establishment at any time during business hours. The bill grants certain investigational powers to the department and allows the department to impose a fee or suspend or revoke a license or registration for failing to comply with an inspection. The bill prohibits a psilocybin production establishment from advertising to the general public, except to advertise an employment opportunity. The bill requires the department to adopt rules for standards relating to advertisement by qualified medical psilocybin providers and qualified medical psilocybin therapists, defined in the bill. The bill prohibits a person other than a psilocybin production establishment agent, qualified therapy provider, qualified therapy provider agent, or an agent of the department conducting an inspection from transporting psilocybin. A person transporting psilocybin must possess a manifest including details about the psilocybin the person has been authorized to transport. A psilocybin production establishment agent who transports psilocybin without a manifest is guilty of a simple misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $100. A psilocybin production establishment who transports an amount of psilocybin in excess of the amount indicated in the manifest is subject to penalties as provided in Code chapter 124 (controlled substances). The bill requires a person disposing of psilocybin waste to render the psilocybin waste unusable and unrecognizable and to dispose of it in compliance with applicable state and federal law. The bill requires a local government to allow a psilocybin production establishment to operate in any zone designated for industrial or agricultural use, unless the local government has designated at least one industrial or agricultural zone for the operation of a psilocybin production establishment prior to the receipt of an application for the establishment of a psilocybin production establishment by the local government. The bill allows a psilocybin production establishment to operate on land that has not been zoned. The bill prohibits local governments from imposing certain restrictions on the establishment of a psilocybin production establishment. The bill requires a psilocybin cultivation facility to use unique identifiers to identify certain classifications of psilocybin. The bill prohibits a psilocybin cultivation facility from selling any product other than a psilocybin product or educational material related to psilocybin and from selling to a person other than a qualified therapy provider or a registered agent of a qualified therapy provider. The bill includes certain labeling requirements for psilocybin products. The bill requires the department to adopt rules for the testing of psilocybin by an independent psilocybin testing laboratory. The bill allows the department to require an independent psilocybin testing laboratory to test for a toxin if the department receives information about the presence of the toxin. The bill prohibits a psilocybin production establishment from transferring psilocybin to a qualified therapy provider until a sample of the psilocybin has been tested by an independent psilocybin testing laboratory. The bill allows the department to require an independent psilocybin testing laboratory to participate in a proficiency evaluation. If an independent psilocybin testing laboratory determines that a psilocybin product is unsafe for human use, the bill requires the independent psilocybin testing laboratory to inform the department and the psilocybin cultivation facility from which the batch originated, and the department shall place a hold on the sale and use of the psilocybin product until the department completes an investigation. The bill requires the department, in consultation with the departments of agriculture and public safety, to adopt rules for the creation and operation of an electronic verification system. The electronic verification system shall, at a minimum, allow a medical psilocybin provider to engage in patient management; allow access by the department and the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing; create a record each time a person accesses the system; and keeps a current record of the total number of individuals who have a psilocybin recommendation. The bill allows the department to release limited data from the electronic verification system for research, reporting, and official department purposes. A person who knowingly and intentionally releases information from the electronic verification system in violation of the bill is guilty of class “D” felony. A class “D” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than five years and a fine of at least $1,025 but not more than $10,245. A person who negligently or recklessly releases information from the electronic verification system in violation of the bill is guilty of a serious misdemeanor. A serious misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than one year and a fine of at least $430 but not more than $2,560. A person who unlawfully obtains or attempts to obtain information from the electronic verification system is guilty of a class “D” felony. The bill limits the number of psilocybin recommendations in the state to 5,000 patients. An individual’s psilocybin recommendation expires if the individual has not received treatment from a qualified therapy provider with psilocybin or a psilocybin product by the later of one year from the day a qualified medical psilocybin provider provided the recommendation or one year from the day of the individual’s most recent administration of psilocybin or a psilocybin product by a qualified therapy provider. The bill prohibits a person from recommending the use of psilocybin unless the person is a qualified medical psilocybin provider, defined in the bill as a physician and surgeon or osteopathic physician and surgeon, a physician assistant, an advanced registered nurse practitioner, or an advanced practice registered nurse who is registered by the department to recommend treatment with psilocybin. The bill requires the department to issue a qualified medical psilocybin provider registration card to an individual if the individual submits an application, provides a report detailing the completion of continuing education requirements regarding the use of psilocybin listed in the bill, provides evidence that the person holds an appropriate license, and pays an application fee. The bill prohibits a qualified medical psilocybin provider from recommending the use of psilocybin unless the qualified medical psilocybin provider completes a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition and history, verifies that the patient has post-traumatic stress disorder, verifies that the patient is at least 21 years old, and meets with the patient in person if the qualified medical psilocybin provider has not previously recommended a psilocybin treatment to the patient. The bill places restrictions on advertisements by qualified medical psilocybin providers. A qualified medical psilocybin provider registration card expires after two years and may be renewed. The bill allows the department to revoke a qualified medical psilocybin provider registration card for failure to comply with the bill. The bill prohibits a qualified medical psilocybin provider from receiving compensation from certain persons involved in the production of psilocybin. A qualified medical psilocybin provider shall not be subject to a professional, civil, or criminal penalty solely for violating a federal law or regulation that would prohibit recommending, prescribing, possessing, or dispensing psilocybin. The bill prohibits discrimination against a person in the provision of medical care, including organ or tissue transplantation, on the basis of the usage of psilocybin as provided in the bill. The bill also prohibits the state or a political subdivision of the state from discriminating against an employee on the basis of the employee’s use of psilocybin as provided in the bill except under certain circumstances, as provided in the bill. The bill does not require an insurer, a third-party administrator, or an employer to pay or reimburse for psilocybin. The bill does not restrict the prescription, distribution, or dispensing of a product that the United States food and drug administration has approved. The bill prohibits a person from administering a psilocybin treatment unless the department registers the person as a qualified medical psilocybin therapist, defined in the bill as a physician and surgeon or osteopathic physician and surgeon, a physician assistant, an advanced registered nurse practitioner, an advanced practice registered nurse, a psychologist, or a social worker. The department shall register a person as a qualified medical psilocybin therapist if the person submits an application, provides the address of the clinic where psilocybin will be administered, provides a report detailing the completion of continuing education requirements regarding the use of psilocybin listed in the bill, certifies that the individual has an inventory control system, provides evidence that person has an appropriate license, pays an application fee, and provides an emergency transport plan. A qualified medical psilocybin therapist shall not administer psilocybin to a patient unless the patient has a recommendation issued by a qualified medical psilocybin provider, the qualified medical psilocybin therapist has reviewed the patient’s mental health history, the qualified medical psilocybin therapist has provided the patient with a safety sheet created by the department, there are unexpired rescue medications on site, the administration session is video-recorded, and the qualified medical psilocybin therapist has a contractual relationship with a licensed physician and surgeon or osteopathic physician and surgeon who remains on call during the course of the administration session in case a patient requires nonemergency medical intervention. A qualified therapy provider shall only administer psilocybin in a qualified therapy provider location. The bill places limits on advertising by qualified therapy providers. A qualified therapy provider registration expires after two years and may be renewed. The bill requires a qualified therapy provider to submit a report to the department within seven days after the occurrence of an adverse event, defined in the bill. The bill allows the department to revoke a qualified therapy provider registration if a qualified therapy provider fails to maintain compliance with the requirements of the bill. The bill requires the department to submit a report to the general assembly on or before November 1, 2025, and annually by November 1 thereafter, regarding participation in the medical psilocybin program. The bill also requires the department to submit a report regarding the medical efficacy of psilocybin to the general assembly, including recommendations, by June 1, 2028. The bill grants the department enforcement authority for the enforcement of the bill, including by disciplining licenses and registrations, imposing fees, and seizing and destroying psilocybin. The department shall not revoke a license or registration issued pursuant to the bill without first conducting a contested case proceeding. A person who violates a provision of the bill for which another penalty is not provided is guilty of a simple misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $100, except that a person who intentionally or knowingly violates a provision of the bill for which no other penalty is provided three or more times is guilty of a serious misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $1,000. | In Committee |

The bill requires a commercial entity that knowingly or intentionally publishes or distributes obscene material on the internet to use reasonable age verification methods to verify that the individual attempting to access the material is not a minor. A commercial entity that is found in violation shall be civilly liable to an individual for damages resulting from a minor’s access to the material, including court costs and reasonable attorney fees as ordered by the court. The bill does not impose civil liability on a provider or user of an interactive computer service on the internet. | In Committee |
| HF618 | A bill for an act relating to digital networks utilized by transportation network companies.(See HF 897.) | This bill provides that an online-enabled application, internet site, or system offered or utilized by a transportation network company that enables transportation network company riders to prearrange rides with transportation network company drivers is not a product under Iowa Code. “Product” is not a defined term under Code section 4.1, but is defined in various contexts in many Code chapters, often in combination with other terms, depending on the subject matter. | In Committee |
| HF140 | A bill for an act providing for the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor, providing fees, and including effective date provisions.(See HF 761, HF 993.) | This bill allows for the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor within the state. New Code section 123.42A provides for the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor and provides for an alcoholic liquor direct shipper license. An alcoholic liquor direct shipper licensee (licensee) may sell and ship any amount of alcoholic liquor to any person who is at least 21 years of age for personal use and not for resale if the licensee produces in, or imports into, the United States 150,000 proof gallons or fewer of distilled spirits per calendar year. If the licensee produces or imports more than 150,000 proof gallons of distilled spirits, a licensee may sell and ship up to nine liters of alcoholic liquor per calendar year to a person 21 years of age or older. The annual fee for the license is $25. Provisions governing the direct shipment of wine and the wine direct shipper permit are generally made applicable to the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor. The bill requires all alcoholic liquor subject to direct shipping to be properly registered with the department of revenue (department) and that products which are not listed for sale by the department must be registered to include information on the name of the manufacturer, the name of the brand, the standard of fill, the wholesale price, and other information as requested by the department. The bill also requires each licensee to make a monthly report to the department that lists the products and quantities shipped directly to residents of this state in the preceding month, the name and address of the individuals to whom the alcoholic liquor was sold in each sale, the wholesale price of the alcoholic liquor sold, the purchase price and taxes charged of the alcoholic liquor sold, the alcoholic beverage carrier permittee who delivered each shipment, and documents filed by the licensee with the alcohol and tobacco tax and trade bureau of the United States department of treasury for the preceding month, including all production, storage, and processing reports. Finally, the bill requires a licensee to remit an amount to the department depending on whether the alcoholic liquor shipped is listed for sale by the department. If the alcoholic liquor is listed for sale by the department, the permittee shall remit to the department an amount equivalent to 50 percent of the wholesale price paid by the department for the alcoholic liquor. If the alcoholic liquor is not listed for sale by the department, the permittee shall remit to the department an amount equivalent to 50 percent of the wholesale price of the alcoholic liquor as registered with the department. The bill provides that a civil penalty of 10 percent of the amount due shall be assessed and collected if the amount required to be paid to the department as provided by the bill is not paid within the time required. Generally, moneys collected by the department under Code chapter 123 for the issuance of permits and licenses, and other moneys and receipts received by the department from any other source under the Code chapter, are deposited in the beer and liquor control fund (Code section 123.17). Civil penalties imposed and collected by the department under the Code chapter are credited to the general fund of the state. The bill allows a manufacturer of alcoholic liquor and a native distillery to ship alcoholic liquor or native distilled spirits, as applicable, to individual purchasers inside this state by obtaining an alcoholic liquor direct shipper license as established in the bill. The bill replaces the wine carrier permit under current law with an alcoholic beverage carrier permit to provide for the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor as provided by the bill. The bill takes effect January 1, 2026. | In Committee |
| HF719 | A bill for an act requiring the department of revenue to issue a request for proposals to study local taxing authority processes and procedures. | This bill requires the department of revenue, in consultation with the department of government efficiency task force, to issue a request for proposals to hire a private entity to conduct a study of local taxing authorities in this state in order to achieve the most efficient and cost-effective methods for local taxing authorities to levy and collect taxes and assess property values or other applicable taxing methods. The bill requires the request for proposals to be issued by July 1, 2026, and a contract to be executed with the contractor selected by October 1, 2026. The contract shall provide that 90 percent of the total cost shall be paid by the state and 10 percent shall be paid by the local taxing authorities as determined by the department of revenue. The department of revenue must submit to the general assembly a report detailing findings from the study conducted by the private entity by June 30, 2027. “Local taxing authority” includes a county, city, school district, township, or an entity organized pursuant to Code chapter 28E that has taxing authority. The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code section 25B.3. The bill makes inapplicable Code section 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified. Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with any state mandate included in the bill. | In Committee |
| HF720 | A bill for an act concerning combined services of governmental units. | This bill provides governmental units the ability to combine their services and authority related to levying taxes, collecting taxes, and assessing property values or other applicable taxing methods by entering into an agreement pursuant to Code chapter 28E. “Governmental unit” is defined to mean a political subdivision of the state with the authority to assess, levy, and collect taxes, which includes but is not limited to a county, a city, a school district, or a township. | In Committee |
| HF717 | A bill for an act relating to procedures for, and judicial review of, licensing and including effective date and applicability provisions. | This bill relates to procedures for, and judicial review of, licensing. The bill defines “license” as the same as provided in Code chapter 17A: the whole or a part of any agency permit, certificate, approval, registration, charter, or similar form of permission required by statute. Additional definitions in the bill are the same as defined in Code chapter 17A. The bill requires that any criterion in statute, rule, or other agency action for licensing of a constitutionally protected activity be specified in clear and unambiguous language. Any criterion in violation of this requirement shall be void and unenforceable. In determining whether language is clear and unambiguous, a court shall not give any presumption in favor of the validity of a criterion and shall not give any deference to the view of an agency. The bill provides that when the time period for an agency to make a decision on an application for a license is not specified in statute, the time period shall be 30 days unless an agency and an applicant for a license mutually agree to extend the period. The bill provides requirements that apply to a contested case proceeding on a licensing decision by an agency. The bill provides that the rules of civil procedure and the rules of evidence shall apply. The bill provides that all proceedings shall be conducted orally and shall be recorded at the agency’s expense. On application of a party or the agency, the bill authorizes an administrative law judge to permit a deposition of a witness to be taken if the witness cannot be subpoenaed or is unable to attend a hearing. The bill provides that the agency shall have the burden of persuasion. The bill provides that the agency shall have the burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence unless a higher burden of proof is provided by law. The bill provides that any person serving as a presiding officer is subject to disqualification for lack of technical expertise necessary to effectively preside at a hearing. The bill specifies that Code chapter 17A and other provisions of law relating to contested case hearings shall apply to a contested case proceeding on a licensing decision by an agency where such requirements are not in conflict with the bill. The bill provides requirements that apply to an action for judicial review of final agency action on a licensing decision. The bill provides that the parties shall be entitled to a speedy and public determination by the court. The bill provides that the court shall hold an evidentiary hearing, to the extent necessary to make the determination, if requested by a party to such an action within 30 days after a petition for judicial review is filed. The bill provides that the court shall review de novo all relevant questions of law, including the interpretation of constitutional, statutory, and regulatory provisions, unless the parties stipulate otherwise. The bill provides that a determination of facts shall be made by a jury on demand of any party. The bill provides that relevant and admissible exhibits and testimony that were not received during contested case proceedings shall be admitted by the court if compliant with the rules of evidence. The bill provides procedures for consideration of objections that a party failed to make to evidence offered during contested case proceedings. The bill specifies that Code section 17A.19 and other provisions of law relating to judicial review of agency action shall apply to judicial review of a licensing decision by an agency where such requirements are not in conflict with the bill. The provisions of the bill apply notwithstanding any other provision of state law to the contrary. The bill strikes language in Code chapter 17A specifying that the provisions of Code chapter 17A concerning contested cases apply to licensing decisions by agencies only when notice and opportunity for an evidentiary hearing are required by Constitution or statute. The bill instead provides that the provisions of Code chapter 17A concerning contested cases always apply to such decisions. The bill authorizes an agency to submit a report to the governor and the general assembly by January 1, 2026, regarding the impact of the bill on the functions of the agency. The report may include recommendations, proposed legislation, and any other relevant information. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, and applies to agency action, and judicial review thereof, commenced on or after that date. | In Committee |
| HF718 | A bill for an act establishing processes for delay, rescission, and approval of certain administrative rules based on fiscal impact and including applicability provisions. | This bill establishes processes for delay, rescission, and approval of certain administrative rules (rules) based on fiscal impact statements prepared by agencies as required under Code section 17A.4, subsection 4. The bill provides that if the fiscal impact statement prepared by an agency for an adopted rule indicates the rule will necessitate additional annual expenditures of at least $1 million, or combined expenditures of at least $5 million within five years, by all affected persons, including the agency itself, the effective date of the rule shall be delayed until the adjournment of the next regular session of the general assembly that convenes after the rule is published in the Iowa administrative bulletin (bulletin). The bill provides that upon the adjournment of the specified regular session of the general assembly, a rule delayed in this manner is rescinded and shall not become effective. The bill authorizes an agency, during the period of a delay, to engage in further rulemaking that will amend or repeal a rule subject to the delay. However, any rule that amends or repeals a rule subject to a delay, and that will become effective during the delay, shall be subject to that delay as though it were included in the initially delayed rule. The bill authorizes an agency, during the period of a delay, to submit a notice of rescission for publication in the bulletin that rescinds the rule. Upon publication of the notice, if the rule has not already become effective or been rescinded, the rule is rescinded and shall not become effective. The bill provides that the general assembly may, by a joint resolution approved by the governor, approve a rule delayed in this manner prior to its rescission. Upon approval of the joint resolution by the governor, the rule shall not be rescinded and shall become effective upon the date of approval of the joint resolution by the governor, or another date specified in the resolution. The bill shall not be construed to prohibit the general assembly from enacting other legislation relating to a delayed rule, including but not limited to a joint resolution to nullify the rule. For purposes of the bill, “additional annual expenditures” includes expenditures by political subdivisions or agencies, and entities which contract with political subdivisions, to provide services as described under current law, but does not include an expenditure of funds by the agency that adopted a rule if the funds were appropriated to the agency for the purpose of the agency program or other function implemented by the rule. The bill addresses how the procedures provided in the bill apply to rules adopted pursuant to Code section 17A.4, subsection 3, and Code section 17A.5, subsection 2, paragraph “b” (emergency rules). Under current law, a fiscal impact statement that is required for a noticed or adopted rule must be promptly delivered to the legislative services agency. The bill provides that the statement must be included with a rule when it is filed. The bill applies to rules adopted by agencies on or after July 1, 2026. | In Committee |
| HF715 | A bill for an act relating to the automatic resignation of members of Congress. | This bill relates to the resignation of members of Congress. The bill deems a member of Congress elected by the people of Iowa to have resigned from office if the Congress of the United States fails to pass a budget by October 31 of each year or if the member votes for a continuing resolution providing for the automatic extension of funding. The office of a person deemed to have resigned pursuant to the bill shall be deemed vacant and filled as provided by law. | In Committee |

| HF326 | A bill for an act establishing a veterans recovery pilot program and fund for the reimbursement of expenses related to providing hyperbaric oxygen treatment to eligible veterans and making appropriations.(See HF 518.) | This bill establishes a veterans recovery pilot program, administered by the department of veterans affairs for the reimbursement of expenses related to providing hyperbaric oxygen treatment to eligible veterans. New Code section 35E.1 establishes definitions applicable to the new Code chapter, including definitions for “commission”, “department”, “health care practitioner”, “hyperbaric oxygen treatment”, “traumatic brain injury”, “treatment facility”, and “veteran”. Specifically, the bill defines “hyperbaric oxygen treatment” as treatment, including diagnostic testing and other related medical treatments, for diabetic foot ulcers, traumatic brain injury, or post-traumatic stress disorder prescribed by a health care practitioner that utilizes a United States food and drug administration-approved hyperbaric chamber or hyperbaric oxygen device. New Code section 35E.2 establishes the veterans recovery pilot program, subject to sufficient moneys to operate the program, requires the department of veterans affairs to adopt rules to implement and administer the program, and includes a reporting requirement for the department of veterans affairs concerning the operation of the pilot program. New Code section 35E.3 creates a veterans recovery fund in the state treasury under the control of the department of veterans affairs. The new Code section provides that moneys in the fund are appropriated to the department of veterans affairs to be expended for expenses incurred in operating the program and for expenses authorized to be reimbursed for hyperbaric oxygen treatment and any related travel and living expenses incurred by the veteran. The new Code section provides that moneys in the fund shall not revert but shall remain available for use until June 30, 2031. Any moneys remaining in the fund as of June 30, 2031, shall be transferred for deposit in the veterans trust fund. New Code section 35E.4 provides for the process for a treating facility to seek reimbursement from the veterans recovery fund for providing hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The bill provides that a treating facility may submit a proposed treatment plan to the department of veterans affairs and the commission of veterans affairs for their approval. The treatment plan shall include the prescription order for the treatment, information verifying the eligibility of the veteran to receive and the treatment facility to provide the treatment, the estimated costs for providing the treatment and for reimbursing the veteran for any associated travel and living expenses, and any other information required by the department of veterans affairs. The new Code section provides that the treatment plan shall not be approved if sufficient moneys to reimburse the estimated costs are not available in the veterans recovery fund. The new Code section also establishes a process for submitting a modified treatment plan if the estimated costs for providing the treatment are anticipated to exceed the cost estimate in the initial treatment plan. New Code section 35E.5 provides for requirements relative to providing hyperbaric oxygen treatment and provides for the manner in which treatment-related expenses are to be reimbursed. The Code section provides that a treatment facility shall not be reimbursed for providing treatment unless a treatment plan has been approved. If a treatment facility elects to provide hyperbaric oxygen treatment under the pilot program, the facility shall provide the treatment without charge to a veteran and shall submit regular reports to the department of veterans affairs concerning the efficacy of the treatment and whether the treatments have been concluded. The new Code section also provides for a process for a treatment facility and a veteran to receive reimbursement for expenses incurred. The new Code sections require the department of veterans affairs to provide written notification to the treatment facility and veteran after treatment has concluded, which notice shall indicate when any additional requests for reimbursement may be made. Code section 35E.6 provides that the new Code chapter is repealed July 1, 2031. The bill further directs the department of veterans affairs to submit a notice of intended action to the administrative rules coordinator and the administrative code editor not later than January 1, 2026, for the adoption of rules necessary to implement and administer the new Code chapter. | In Committee |
| HF511 | A bill for an act relating to a father's obligation for payment of expenses including those related to a mother's pregnancy and the birth of a child born out of wedlock. | This bill relates to the obligation of parents of a child born out of wedlock for support. The bill amends Code chapter 600B (paternity and obligation for support) to provide that the court shall establish medical support pursuant to Code chapter 252E (medical support) and may order the payment of the reasonable and necessary uncovered medical expenses incurred by or for the mother in connection with the mother’s pregnancy and the birth of the child. The bill provides that absent good cause or agreement of the parties, any amount the court orders the father to pay toward uncovered medical expenses related to the mother’s pregnancy and the birth of the child shall be established in proportion to each parent’s respective net income as calculated under the child support guidelines established pursuant to Code section 598.21B (orders for child support and medical support) and shall take into account any amount the father previously paid toward such expenses. Additionally, the bill provides that the court may order the father to pay a separate amount toward any other reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the mother related to the mother’s pregnancy prior to the birth of the child, and incurred by the mother to provide essential items for the health, well-being, and safety of the newborn. Under current law, upon the court’s own motion or upon a request of a party, the court shall require a child, mother, and alleged father to submit to blood or genetic tests to establish paternity. The bill provides that any blood or genetic tests for a child, mother, or alleged father shall not be conducted until after the birth of the child. The bill makes conforming and other changes in Code chapter 600B consistent with the bill. | In Committee |
| HF453 | A bill for an act relating to the treatment of an unborn child for the purposes of damages for wrongful death, the defense of compulsion, homicide and related crimes, and assault, making penalties applicable, and including effective date and applicability provisions. | This bill relates to the treatment of an unborn child for purposes of damages for wrongful death, certain crimes, and certain defenses. The bill amends Code section 633.336 (damages for wrongful death) to provide that damages for wrongful death of a child shall include the wrongful death of an unborn child, as defined in the bill to mean an individual organism of the species homo sapiens from fertilization to fetal death or live birth. The bill amends Code section 701.4 (insanity) to include a pregnant woman acting relative to her unborn child under Code chapter 707 or 708 as a person who shall not be convicted of a crime if at the time the crime is committed, the person suffers from such a diseased or deranged condition of the mind as to render the person incapable of knowing the nature and quality of the act the person is committing or incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong in relation to that act. The bill amends Code section 704.10 (compulsion) to provide that an act, other than an act by which one intentionally or recklessly causes physical injury to another, is not a public offense if the person so acting, including a pregnant woman acting relative to her unborn child under Code chapter 707 (homicide or related crimes) or 708 (assault), is compelled to do so by another’s threat or menace of serious injury, provided that the person reasonably believes that such injury is imminent and can be averted only by the person doing such act. The bill creates new Code section 707.1A (homicide and related crimes —— unborn child victim) that provides that for the purpose of Code chapter 707 (homicide and related crimes), “person” includes an unborn child when the person is the victim of the crime. The bill provides that prosecution of a crime under Code chapter 707, when the victim is an unborn child, is subject to the same presumptions, defenses, justifications, immunities, clemencies, and other due process protections that would apply if the victim were a person following a live birth. The Code section shall not apply to the unintentional death of an unborn child resulting from the performance of life-saving procedures to save the life of a pregnant woman when accompanied by reasonable steps, if available, to save the life of the unborn child; or to a miscarriage. If a provision of law conflicts with the new Code section, the new Code section prevails. The bill also creates new Code section 708.1A (assault on an unborn child). The bill provides that for the purpose of Code chapter 708 (assault), “person” includes an unborn child when the person is the victim of the crime. Prosecution of a crime under Code chapter 708, when the victim is an unborn child, is subject to the same presumptions, defenses, justifications, immunities, clemencies, and other due process protections that would apply if the victim were a person following a live birth. The Code section shall not apply to the unintentional death of or harm to an unborn child resulting from the performance of life-saving procedures to save the life of a pregnant woman when accompanied by reasonable steps, if available, to save the life of the unborn child; or to a miscarriage. If a provision of law conflicts with the new Code section, the new Code section prevails. The bill takes effect upon enactment. The bill applies only to conduct or an act occurring on or after the effective date of the bill. | In Committee |

| HF87 | A bill for an act relating to public access to vertiports. | This bill relates to public access to vertiports, defined in the bill. The bill is intended to promote the development of a network of vertiports that provide equitable access to Iowa citizens and to prohibit vertiport monopolization and discrimination. The bill specifies the type of vertiports covered by the bill, requires federal compliance relating to vertiport design and required layout plans, and prohibits exclusive and discriminating zoning regulations. The bill specifies that an injured person has a right of action for all damages actually sustained, severally or jointly, against a person who violates the bill. The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code section 25B.3. The bill makes inapplicable Code section 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified. Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with any state mandate included in the bill. | In Committee |

| HF85 | A bill for an act providing for a regulatory relief program. | This bill establishes a regulatory relief program, administered by a regulatory relief office which is created by the bill. New Code section 15E.22 requires the economic development authority (IEDA) to establish a regulatory relief office under the control of the director of IEDA. The bill establishes the duties of the office to include administering the regulatory relief program created by the bill. The office is also required to issue an annual written report concerning the activities of the office. The bill requires IEDA to adopt rules for purposes of the office and the regulatory relief program. New Code section 15E.23 establishes a 13-member regulatory relief advisory committee. The committee shall consist of nine voting members, appointed by the director of IEDA, which shall include six members representing business interests and three members representing state agencies that regulate businesses, and four nonvoting legislative members. The bill provides that the director of IEDA designate the chair of the advisory committee. The advisory committee is responsible for advising and making recommendations to the regulatory relief office regarding the regulatory relief program. New Code section 15E.24 establishes the regulatory relief program. The bill provides that the purpose of the program is to enable businesses to obtain legal protections and limited access to the market in this state to demonstrate an innovative offering without obtaining a license or other authorization that might otherwise be required. The bill establishes the process by which a business may apply to participate in the program. The bill describes the information required to be included in an application to the regulatory relief office for participation in the program. Applications for participation in the program shall be forwarded by the regulatory relief office to affected state agencies who will issue a written report recommending acceptance or rejection of the application. A state agency rejection of an application will result in denial of the application. If no state agency recommends rejection, the regulatory relief office shall forward the application and the written reports to the regulatory relief advisory committee who shall review the information and submit a recommendation to the office. The regulatory review office shall either accept or deny the application and shall notify the applicant of the decision. If the application is accepted, the regulatory relief agency shall enter into a written agreement with the applicant describing the specific laws and regulations that are waived or suspended as part of the program. Participation in the program shall be for a demonstration period of 12 months. The bill specifies various reporting and disclosure requirements for a participant in the program. The bill allows the regulatory relief office to end a participant’s participation in the program at any time. The bill also permits a participant in the program to request an extension of the program for not more than 12 months after the end of the initial demonstration period. Finally, the bill provides that the regulatory relief office and employees of the regulatory relief office are not liable for any business losses or the recouping of application expenses or other expenses related to the regulatory relief program. | In Committee |

| HF142 | A bill for an act creating conservation area designations subject to modified property tax levy rates and eliminating the forest and fruit-tree reservation property tax exemption program. | This bill creates conservation area designations and eliminates the forest and fruit-tree property tax exemption program. DIVISION I —— CONSERVATION AREAS. The bill establishes a conservation area designation, to be taxed at the following levy rates: for a commercial conservation area, $12 per acre; and for any other conservation area, $8 per acre. The bill specifies the revenue generated from the levies shall be apportioned by the county treasurer among the several taxing districts in which the area is located in proportion to each taxing district’s portion of the consolidated levy rate that would otherwise be applicable to the area but for the designation under the bill. The bill specifies any owner may select any tract of land as a conservation area. The conservation area must consist of five continuous acres. A commercial conservation area must consist of fruit production, pasture land, or an area encompassing a hunting or fishing lease. The bill requires the pasture land to be managed with a certified management plan and have a minimum stubble height of four inches to improve habitat. The bill requires a conservation area containing forested land to have an implemented forest improvement plan. The bill establishes an application process for the establishment of a conservation area. An owner who does not maintain the conservation area is subject to a recapture tax as described in the bill.

The bill eliminates the forest and fruit-tree reservation tax exemption under Code chapter 427C for assessment years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. | In Committee |
| HF63 | A bill for an act establishing the criminal offense of human smuggling, and providing penalties. | This bill establishes the criminal offense of human smuggling. The bill provides that a person commits the offense of human smuggling when the person knowingly transports another person into the state, or harbors or conceals another person within the state and: the person knows or should have known that the other person is entering into or remaining in the United States without proper documentation; the person benefits financially, or receives anything of value; and the person knows or should have known that the person being smuggled is likely to be exploited for the financial gain of another. Human smuggling is a class “D” felony. A class “D” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than five years and a fine of at least $1,025 but not more than $10,245. A person commits aggravated human smuggling when the offense of human smuggling is committed using a dangerous weapon as defined in Code section 702.7; causes bodily harm, serious bodily harm, or disfigurement to the person being smuggled; or causes the person being smuggled to become a victim of sexual assault or sexual abuse, or involved in commercial sexual activity as defined in Code section 710A.1.

| HF61 | A bill for an act relating to the disclosure of prices charged for certain health services rendered by health care providers and hospitals. | This bill relates to the disclosure of prices charged by health care providers (providers) and hospitals for certain health services (services). The bill requires a provider to disclose and make available to the public in a single document, either electronically or by posting conspicuously on the provider’s internet site, the prices charged, prior to the negotiation of any discounts and assuming no medical complications, for the 25 most common services the provider renders. The services are to be identified by a common nationally recognized coding system and by a plain language description, and the provider is required to update the price information at least annually. The bill requires hospitals to disclose and make available to the public in a single document, either electronically or by posting conspicuously on the hospital’s internet site, the prices charged, prior to the negotiation of any discounts and assuming no medical complications, for the 75 most common inpatient and the 75 most common outpatient services, as grouped by a Medicare diagnosis-related group, rendered by the hospital. The price information is required to be updated on a quarterly basis. The bill provides that the price information disclosed shall include a disclaimer as detailed in the bill. The bill directs the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing to adopt rules to ensure that requirements under the bill are consistent with and do not duplicate federal requirements related to the disclosure of prices charged by providers and hospitals, specifically including those required under the federal Affordable Care Act regarding the publicizing of standard hospital charges. | In Committee |
