| HF676 | A bill for an act requiring employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees based on pregnancy or childbirth and making penalties applicable. | This bill requires an employer to provide reasonable accommodations to an employee based on medical conditions related to the employee’s pregnancy or childbirth if the employee requests reasonable accommodations with the advice of the employee’s health care provider. Penalty provisions for discriminatory employment practices are made applicable to a failure to provide such reasonable accommodations to an employee. The bill defines “reasonable accommodations” as actions which would permit an employee with a medical condition relating to the employee’s pregnancy or childbirth to perform in a reasonable manner the activities involved in the employee’s specific occupation and include but are not limited to the provision of an accessible worksite, acquisition or modification of equipment, job restructuring, and a modified work schedule. The bill provides that “reasonable accommodations” does not mean any action that would impose an undue hardship on the business of the employer from whom the action is requested. | In Committee |
| HF681 | A bill for an act establishing a wage and hour division in the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing. | This bill establishes a wage and hour division in the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing. The division is responsible for the administration of the laws of Iowa under Code chapters 91A (wage payment collection), 91D (minimum wage), and 92 (child labor), and such other duties assigned to the division or director of the department. The bill requires the division to investigate reported violations of the laws it administers and engage in statutorily authorized enforcement activities against violators of such laws. The bill requires the division to prioritize such investigation and enforcement over referral of complaints to the federal department of labor or reliance on the federal department of labor to enforce federal laws governing similar subjects. | In Committee |
| HF672 | A bill for an act relating to mandatory subjects of negotiation for public employee collective bargaining and including applicability provisions. | This bill strikes language providing that mandatory subjects of negotiation in public employee collective bargaining shall be interpreted narrowly and restrictively. The bill applies to collective bargaining procedures pursuant to Code chapter 20 initiated on or after the effective date of the bill. | In Committee |
| HF675 | A bill for an act requiring employers to provide employees with meal periods and rest periods and providing penalties. | This bill requires an employer to provide an employee with appropriate meal periods and appropriate rest periods. The bill states that an appropriate meal period shall be not less than 30 minutes during an employee’s work period of at least seven hours. The meal period is to be taken between the second and fifth hours of the work or, if the employee works more than seven hours, between the third and sixth hours. The bill states that an appropriate rest period shall be a paid period of not less than 10 minutes during every four-hour work period. The rest period is taken in the middle of the work period. The rest period is in addition to the meal period and cannot be added to the meal period or deducted from the work period to reduce the overall length of the total work period. The bill defines an “employee” as a natural person who is employed in this state for wages by an employer. An “employer” is defined as a person, as defined in Code section 4.1, who employs a natural person for wages. The bill provides that an employer is not required to pay for a meal period if an employee is free from work duties during the employee’s entire meal period. The bill allows three exemptions to the meal and rest period requirements. The first exemption is if the meal and rest period requirements are modified by the terms of a collective bargaining agreement. However, the exemption is valid only if the collective bargaining agreement entered into by the employees prescribes specific terms concerning meal periods and rest periods. The second exemption states that meal and rest period requirements apply to hourly paid and salary-paid employees. However, management or employees involved in certain agricultural jobs are not required to have breaks or meal breaks. The third exemption is if an employer shows that the ordinary nature and circumstance of the work prevented the employer from establishing and maintaining a regular scheduled meal period. The bill provides civil penalties for violating the new Code chapter. An employer who violates the provisions shall be subject to a penalty of up to $100 for each violation. The director of the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing may recover the penalties under Code chapter 17A contested case procedures. Any penalties recovered shall be deposited in the general fund of the state. The director may propose that an employer be assessed a penalty by serving the employer with notice of a penalty in the same manner as an original notice is served under the rules of civil procedure. The bill provides the director with the authority to provide further exemptions from the requirements of the bill by rule when reasonable. Also, the director or the director’s designee may inspect employment records relating to rest periods for employees and interview an employer or employee or an agent of the employer or employee, during working hours or at other reasonable times. | In Committee |
| HF661 | A bill for an act relating to child care, including the child and dependent care tax credit, a child care workforce matching grant program, a small business child care tax credit, and state child care assistance, and including applicability provisions. | This bill relates to child care and is separated into divisions. DIVISION I —— CHILD AND DEPENDENT CARE TAX CREDIT. The Iowa child and dependent care tax credit is a refundable credit calculated as a percentage of the federal child and dependent care tax credit, depending on the Iowa net income of the taxpayer. Currently, there are seven graduated Iowa net income thresholds used to calculate the credit. This division strikes the Iowa net income thresholds, and specifies a taxpayer may claim a tax credit to reduce Iowa net income equal to the amount of the child and dependent care credit of the federal child and dependent care credit provided in section 21 of the Internal Revenue Code, without regard to whether or not the federal credit was limited by the taxpayer’s federal tax liability. The division applies retroactively to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. DIVISION II —— CHILD CARE WORKFORCE MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM. This division establishes a child care workforce matching grant program (program). Moneys appropriated by the general assembly to the department of health and human services (HHS) for the program must be used to raise wages for persons employed by a child care facility; provide health insurance, paid leave, and retirement benefits for persons employed by a child care facility; raise the quality of the work environment at each child care facility; collect data to assess the needs of persons employed by a child care facility; and assist persons employed by a child care facility to identify sources and apply for benefits for which a person may qualify. The division requires HHS to adopt rules to administer the program. DIVISION III —— SMALL BUSINESS CHILD CARE TAX CREDIT. This division creates a small business child care tax credit available against the individual and corporate income taxes, the franchise tax, the insurance premiums tax, and the moneys and credits tax. The division defines “small business” as any enterprise located in this state, which is operated for profit under a single management and which has either fewer than 20 employees or an annual gross income of less than $4 million computed as the average of the three preceding fiscal years. The division allows a small business to receive a tax credit for providing child care employee benefits to employees of the business. The amount of the credit equals the costs to provide the benefit up to $3,000 per employee per year. The aggregate amount of tax credits cannot exceed a total of $2 million per fiscal year and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The division requires a small business to provide child care employee benefits to employees through certain methods in order to be eligible for the small business child care tax credit. The division applies retroactively to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. DIVISION IV —— STATE CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE. This division relates to state child care assistance (CCA). Under current law, to be eligible for the CCA program, a family must be described by one of six different circumstances and meet income requirements. One of the six eligibility circumstances is that a child’s parent, guardian, or custodian (parent) is employed a minimum of 32 hours per week or an average of 32 hours per week during the month if the child requires basic care, or 28 hours per week or an average of 28 hours per week during the month if the child is a special needs child. The division changes the work requirements to 28 hours per week or an average of 28 hours per week during the month for parents of any child. Under current law, a family is required to have income at or below 160 percent of the federal poverty level applicable to the family’s size (FPL) for a family of a child needing basic care; 200 percent of the FPL for a family of a special needs child; or 85 percent of the state median gross monthly income, whichever is lower. The division sets initial eligibility at the lesser of 85 percent of the state median gross monthly income, or 250 percent of the FPL for families of children needing basic care or 290 percent of the FPL for families of special needs children. The division requires HHS to reimburse child care providers participating in the CCA program at a rate equal to the rate the provider charges a private-pay family for child care. The division provides that HHS shall pay providers based on the number of hours of child care scheduled for a child enrolled in the CCA program instead of for child care provided. The division makes a child eligible for CCA if the child is in a family with a parent, guardian, or custodian who is employed at a child care facility, a child care home registered with HHS, or an unregistered child care home with an agreement with HHS to accept CCA reimbursements; and who meets certain requirements as detailed in the division (qualified parent). The division provides that a director, co-director, or other administrative staff of a child care facility may qualify as a qualified parent if such person is regularly counted in the minimum child-to-staff ratio established by HHS by rule. The division requires a family who participates in CCA to make copayments for services received from the program, if the family’s eligibility is based on a parent being a qualified parent. The division directs HHS to adopt rules to implement and administer the division’s provisions related to qualified parents. The division prohibits HHS from applying waiting list requirements for CCA on persons deemed eligible for CCA due to eligibility based on a qualified parent. The division makes a conforming change by striking Code section 237A.13(6). | In Committee |
| HF673 | A bill for an act requiring certain weekly workers' compensation benefits to be calculated by including an employee's overtime and premium pay, and to include an annual cost-of-living adjustment. | This bill requires certain weekly workers’ compensation benefits to be calculated by including an employee’s overtime and premium pay, and to include an annual cost-of-living adjustment. The bill requires the calculation of the amount of weekly workers’ compensation benefits to include, not exclude, an employee’s earnings for overtime and premium pay. The bill requires the basis of compensation for weekly workers’ compensation benefits payable for permanent total disability benefits or death benefits to increase on January 1 each year for compensation that becomes due that year, by a percentage equal to the cost-of-living adjustment made to disability benefits payable by the United States social security administration in December of the immediately preceding year. Technical corrections are also made to remove an unnumbered paragraph and for purposes of clarity. | In Committee |
| HF682 | A bill for an act relating to the recapture of tax expenditures and disbursed by departments of the state to businesses that violate child labor laws. | This bill relates to the recapture of tax expenditures disbursed by departments of the state to businesses that violate child labor laws. The bill defines “tax expenditure” to mean the same as defined in Code section 2.48, which includes tax credits, exemptions, deductions, and rebates as well as sales tax refunds. Beginning on or after July 1, 2025, as a condition of authorizing tax incentives to a business under any of the programs administered by a department of the state, the value of the tax expenditure authorized shall be subject to recapture by the department if the business, or a contractor, subcontractor, or other third party of the business providing services to the business in the business’s facility, violated state or federal child labor laws under Code chapter 92 or the federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. The bill requires the business to notify the administering department of the violation within 30 days of the ending of the time period to contest or appeal the violation. The bill specifies the repayment or recapture of tax expenditures pursuant to the bill shall be accomplished in the same manner as provided in Code section 15.330(2). The repayment of incentives pursuant to that Code section is considered a tax payment due and payable to the department of revenue, and the failure to make such a repayment may be treated by the department of revenue in the same manner as a failure to pay the tax shown due or required to be shown due. In addition, a county may take action to recover the value of property taxes not collected as a result of a tax exemption provided to the business. | In Committee |
| HF671 | A bill for an act relating to eligible parties to a valid marriage. | This bill provides that a party who otherwise meets the requirements of Code chapter 595 (marriage) for a valid marriage is eligible to marry any other such party regardless of gender. The bill provides for conforming changes in that Code chapter to include provisions relating to void marriages to be gender neutral. The bill also provides that marriage is the legally recognized union of two eligible parties and that terms relating to the marital relationship or familial relationships shall be construed consistently with this provision for all purposes throughout the law, whether in the context of statute, administrative or court rule, government policy, common law, or any other source of civil or criminal law. | In Committee |
| HF333 | A bill for an act providing for access to feminine hygiene products in public school restrooms and making an appropriation. | This bill requires school boards to ensure that feminine hygiene products can be accessed by students without cost in at least half of the restrooms in school buildings in the district where students in grades 6 through 12 are educated and that the supply of feminine hygiene products is refilled regularly. The bill defines “feminine hygiene products” as sanitary napkins, tampons, or other similar items used for feminine hygiene. The bill appropriates an amount necessary to fund the full cost of compliance with the bill by school districts from the general fund of the state to the department of education for the period beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2028. The bill directs the department to establish processes for school districts to submit the documented cost of compliance to the department and for the department to reimburse school districts for such costs. The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code section 25B.3. The bill requires that the state cost of any state mandate included in the bill be paid by a school district from funds appropriated by the bill, and, for school years beginning on or after July 1, 2028, from state school foundation aid received by the school district under Code section 257.16. The specification is deemed to constitute state compliance with any state mandate funding-related requirements of Code section 25B.2. The inclusion of this specification is intended to reinstate the requirement of political subdivisions to comply with any state mandates included in the bill. | In Committee |
| HF251 | A bill for an act requiring the state board of education to publish information related to nonpublic schools that are accredited by an approved independent accrediting agency. | This bill requires the state board of education to publish information related to nonpublic schools that are accredited by an approved independent accrediting agency. Under current law, nonpublic schools in Iowa may be accredited by the department of education (DE) or by an independent accrediting agency that has been approved by DE. Also under current law, the state board of education is required to publish a list of the approved independent accrediting agencies on DE’s internet site. The bill requires the list to include each nonpublic school that is accredited by an approved independent accrediting agency, a description of the educational standards that the approved independent accrediting agency required the nonpublic school to meet in order to attain accreditation, and any amendments or waivers to the educational standards that each school received. The state board is required to update the list annually. | In Committee |
| HF152 | A bill for an act relating to the federal summer electronic benefits transfer for children program, making an appropriation, and including effective date and retroactive applicability provisions. | This bill relates to the summer electronic benefits transfer (EBT) for children program made permanent by federal law under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, administered by the United States department of agriculture (USDA) food and nutrition service. The bill includes findings relating to food insecurity in the state including that it is estimated that approximately 240,000 children would be eligible to receive benefits under the summer EBT for children program; that when Iowans are struggling financially, they are more likely to buy less expensive foods, high in calories and low in nutritional value; and that the summer EBT for children program would provide an estimated $29 million to address the food insecurity crisis which not only feeds children but stimulates local economic activity. The bill requires the department of health and human services (HHS), in coordination with the department of education, to immediately upon the effective date of the bill submit a letter of intent to apply for and participate in the summer EBT program for children during summer 2025, to coordinate with the USDA to develop a successful management and administration plan for the summer EBT program for children, and to submit the plan to the USDA by February 15, 2025. The bill appropriates from the general fund of the state to HHS for fiscal year 2024-2025 a sufficient amount to cover the costs of administering the summer EBT program for children during summer 2025. The bill takes effect upon enactment and is retroactively applicable to July 1, 2024. | In Committee |
