| HF102 | A bill for an act relating to school personnel training, emergency care planning, authorizations for assisting, and limitations of liability concerning students with epilepsy or a seizure disorder.(See HF 835.) | This bill relates to school personnel training, emergency care planning, authorizations for assisting, and limitations of liability concerning students with epilepsy or a seizure disorder. The bill creates definitions for “individual health plan”, “school nurse”, “school personnel”, and “seizure action plan”. The bill requires by the start of the school year beginning July 1, 2025, for the board of directors of each school district and the authorities in charge of each accredited nonpublic school to have at least one school employee at each school who has met the training requirements necessary to administer or assist with the self-administration of a seizure rescue medication or medication prescribed to treat seizure disorder symptoms and approved by the United States food and drug administration and a manual dose of prescribed electrical stimulation using a vagus nerve stimulator magnet approved by the United States food and drug administration. The presence of a school nurse employed full-time by a school who assumes responsibility for the administration of seizure medications and the administration oversight of vagus nerve stimulation fulfills such requirements. These requirements do not require school personnel, other than a school nurse, to administer a suppository to a student. The bill requires by December 31, 2026, each public school and each accredited nonpublic school to provide training to all school personnel on how to recognize the signs and symptoms of seizures and the appropriate steps for seizure first aid. The bill requires each public school and each accredited nonpublic school to have school personnel responsible for the supervision or care of students to undergo seizure recognition and first aid training on a biennial basis. The bill requires any training programs or guidelines adopted by a state agency for the training of school personnel in the health care needs of students diagnosed with a seizure disorder to be consistent with training programs and guidelines developed by the epilepsy foundation of America or any successor organization. The bill authorizes schools and the department of education to require additional seizure disorder training. The bill requires, prior to school personnel administering medication prescribed to treat a student’s seizure disorder symptoms, a school, or accredited nonpublic school to obtain signed and dated authorization from the student’s parent or guardian that authorizes a person trained to administer or assist with the self-administration of a medication approved by the United States food and drug administration to treat seizure disorder symptoms and a manual dose of prescribed electrical stimulation using a vagus nerve stimulator magnet approved by the United States food and drug administration in accordance with the school’s policy and procedures. Such authorizations are effective for the school year in which the authorization is granted and must be renewed each school year. The bill requires, upon the request of a student’s parent or guardian, a school to collaborate with the parent or guardian and relevant licensed health care professionals, including the school nurse or education team, in the development of an individual health plan, and a seizure action plan if appropriate, consistent with rules adopted by the state board of education. The individual health plan or seizure action plan must be based on the student’s needs and may include but is not limited to assessment, nursing diagnosis, outcomes, planning, interventions, student goals, and a plan for emergencies to provide direction in managing the student’s health needs. The plan must be updated consistent with timelines for individual health plans and with rules adopted by the state board of education. The bill requires each school to maintain all authorizations to allow seizure assistance, individual health plans, and seizure action plans for enrolled students on file in the office of the school nurse or school administrator. The bill requires each school to distribute information regarding a student’s seizure action plan to any school personnel responsible for the supervision or care of the student. The bill limits the requirements relating to authorizations, individual health plans, and seizure action plans for students to schools that either have an enrolled student with a known diagnosis of epilepsy or seizure disorder or an enrolled student who is known to currently be taking medication prescribed by a health care provider and approved by the United States food and drug administration to treat seizure disorder symptoms. The bill directs the state board of education to adopt rules to establish a seizure education program for the purpose of providing school districts and accredited nonpublic schools an age-appropriate program on seizures and seizure disorders. The seizure education program shall be consistent with guidelines published by the epilepsy foundation of America or any successor organization, and participation in the program shall be optional. The bill makes a school, a school employee, or an agent of a school acting in good faith and in compliance with a student’s individual health plan and seizure action plan immune from liability for any claim for injuries or damages arising from actions taken to assist a student with the student’s needs related to epilepsy or a seizure disorder. | In Committee |
| HF247 | A bill for an act exempting the sales price of honeybees from the state sales and use tax.(See HF 1004.) | This bill exempts the sales price of honeybees from the state sales and use tax. By operation of Code section 423.6, an item exempt from the imposition of the sales tax is also exempt from the use tax imposed in Code section 423.5. | In Committee |
| HF127 | A bill for an act relating to county supervisors, concerning county supervisor representation plans and county supervisor vacancies, and including effective date provisions.(See HF 786.) | This bill concerns county supervisor representation plans and county supervisor vacancies. DIVISION I —— PLAN “THREE” COUNTY SUPERVISOR REPRESENTATION PLANS AND SPECIAL ELECTIONS. The bill requires a county with either a population of 125,000 or more based on the most recent federal decennial census or the main campus of an institution of higher learning governed by the state board of regents to use plan “three” for the election of county supervisors. Plan “three” requires individual members of the board of supervisors for that county to be elected from single-member, equal-population districts. The bill provides that such counties that do not use plan “three” for the election of supervisors as of the effective date of the bill must submit a precinct plan to the state commissioner of elections by October 1. The legislative services agency must draw the representation plan, in conformity with the provisions of law governing the adoption of a plan “three” representation plan, for use by such counties to elect supervisors under plan “three” during the 2026 general election. The bill requires special elections for the purpose of selecting a supervisor representation plan to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, rather than the first Tuesday in August. In accordance with Code section 39.2 (special elections), a special election may be held on the same day as a regularly scheduled election. The bill also requires a new representation plan, if a plan “two” or “three” is approved at the special election, to be completed not later than December 31, rather than November 1. Such a plan will still take effect the following January 1. The bill fixes an internal subsection reference that was inadvertently not updated when Code section 331.207 was renumbered for the 2019 Code. DIVISION II —— COUNTY SUPERVISOR VACANCIES. The bill requires vacancies on the board of supervisors to be filled by special election in a county with either a population of 125,000 or more or the main campus of an institution of higher learning governed by the state board of regents. Current law allows for vacancies to be filled by appointment under certain circumstances. The bill requires vacancies to be filled by appointment in a county with a population of less than 125,000 that does not include an institution of higher learning governed by the state board of regents in accordance with current law, including a vacancy that is treated as a resignation due to the physical or mental status of a supervisor. DIVISION III —— EFFECTIVE DATE. The bill takes effect upon enactment. | In Committee |
| HF191 | A bill for an act relating to the intentional emission of air contaminants into the atmosphere.(See HF 927.) | This bill prohibits the intentional emission of air contaminants into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of sunlight, notwithstanding any other law to the contrary. The environmental protection commission currently adopts rules relating to air quality. The bill requires the commission to adopt rules expounding on the bill’s prohibitions. The bill allows the environmental protection commission to adopt emergency rules to implement the bill’s prohibition. | In Committee |
| HF920 | A bill for an act relating to the double up food bucks program and making an appropriation. | This bill relates to the double up food bucks program by making a supplemental appropriation from the general fund of the state to the department of health and human services (HHS) for fiscal year 2025-2026, in addition to any other funding appropriated for such purpose for the same fiscal year, to provide grants to support the double up food bucks program administered by the Iowa healthiest state initiative to make fresh fruits and vegetables sold at farmers markets, grocery stores, and other participating locations accessible to individuals and families who reside in this state and receive assistance through the federal supplemental nutrition assistance program. Beginning January 1, 2026, HHS, in cooperation with the Iowa healthiest state initiative, shall submit an annual report to the general assembly that provides information related to the double up food bucks program including the number of participants, the participating locations, and the annual redemption amount and rate. Moneys appropriated under the bill do not revert at the close of the fiscal year but remain available for the purposes of the double up food bucks program. | In Committee |
| HF608 | A bill for an act relating to county hospital operation of a child care facility.(See HF 840.) | This bill permits a county hospital (hospital) to establish a child care facility (facility). A hospital’s board of trustees may operate the facility, or the board of trustees may contract with a person licensed to operate a facility to operate the hospital’s facility. The operation, maintenance, and improvement of a hospital’s facility must comply with the requirements of Code chapter 237A (child care facilities). | In Committee |
| HF505 | A bill for an act relating to noodling licenses.(See HF 832.) | This bill relates to noodling licenses. The bill requires that a person noodling must purchase a noodling license. The bill defines “noodling” as a method of fishing for catfish using one’s bare hands or feet. The bill provides time of day, bag limit, size, and equipment restrictions on the license. The bill directs the natural resource commission to establish rules for the tenure and applicable fee of the noodling permit. A person who unlawfully takes a fish is subject to a scheduled fine of $35. A person who attempts to unlawfully take a fish is subject to a scheduled fine of $20. | In Committee |
| HF817 | A bill for an act relating to the distribution of child support owed to a decedent by affidavit. | Current law allows for the distribution of a decedent’s property by affidavit for very small estates (those with a gross value of $50,000 or less). This bill allows a successor of a decedent who has a very small estate to access undistributed child support payments owed to the decedent held by child support services or the collection services center. The bill requires child support services to create and make available a form that allows the successor to collect the held moneys. | In Committee |
| HF823 | A bill for an act relating to unpaid leave for appointments with a county commission of veteran affairs. | This bill provides that an employee who is a veteran is entitled to unpaid leave for attending an appointment with a county commission of veteran affairs. An employee must provide the employer with a written request for leave at least five days prior to the intended leave. The bill categorizes the denial of or retaliation for taking such unpaid leave as an unfair or discriminatory employment practice. If the veteran’s employer denies such unpaid leave without a good-faith reason or retaliates against the veteran for using such unpaid leave, the veteran may file a complaint with the Iowa office of civil rights. | In Committee |
| HF822 | A bill for an act relating to a local authority's ability to determine the streets or highways on which vehicles operating under an all-systems permit are authorized to operate. | Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) is authorized to issue an all-systems permit that is valid for movement on all paved highways or streets, except the interstate road system under certain circumstances, and except any highways or streets under the jurisdiction of local authorities upon which an all-systems permit is not valid as determined by the applicable local authority, if the local authority indicates such highways and streets to the DOT in writing, including by means of electronic communication. A local authority is prohibited from determining that certain roads, streets, or highways are not valid for purposes of an all-systems permit without justification. Despite a determination by a local authority that a certain street or highway is not valid for purposes of an all-systems permit, a person who is issued an all-systems permit may operate a permitted vehicle over the most direct route between the location where the vehicle is loaded or is to be unloaded and the nearest highway or street upon which movement under an all-systems permit is valid. This bill prohibits a local authority from determining that every paved highway or street under its jurisdiction is not valid for purposes of an all-systems permit. | In Committee |
| HF501 | A bill for an act relating to school districts, including by modifying provisions related to school district dissolution proposals and election dates for school district mergers, consolidations, or dissolutions. | This bill relates to school districts, including by modifying provisions related to school district dissolution proposals and election dates for school district mergers, consolidations, or dissolutions. Current law requires that elections related to school district mergers, consolidations, or dissolutions must be held, in odd-numbered years, on the first Tuesday in March, the second Tuesday in September, or the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and in even-numbered years, on the first Tuesday in March, or the second Tuesday in September. The bill modifies these provisions to provide that elections related to school district mergers or consolidations must be held on a date determined by the county commissioner of elections that is in the calendar year prior to the calendar year in which the merger or consolidation will take effect, and that elections related to school district dissolutions must be held on a date determined by the county commissioner of elections. Current law requires a school district dissolution commission to send a copy of its dissolution proposal to the board of directors of the school district, or inform the board that it cannot agree upon a dissolution proposal, not later than one year following the date of the commission’s organizational meeting. Current law also requires the commission to send a copy of the proposal to the boards of directors of all school districts to which area of the dissolving school district will be attached, and if the board to which area of the dissolving school district will be attached objects to the attachment, the board is required to send its objections in writing to the commission. The bill modifies this provision to provide that, within one year after the date of the organizational meeting of the commission, the commission is required to agree upon and develop a dissolution proposal and send a copy of the proposal to the department of education (DE) for approval. DE is required to either approve the proposal or recommend changes. Once DE has approved the proposal, the bill requires the commission to file a copy of the proposal with the board of directors of the school district and send a copy of the approved proposal to the boards of directors of all school districts to which area of the dissolving school district will be attached. If the commission cannot agree upon a proposal within one year after the date of the organizational meeting, the commission is required to inform the board of directors of the school district that it cannot agree. If the board of directors of a district to which area of the dissolving school district will be attached objects to the attachment, the board is required to send its objections in writing to DE, and DE is required to consider the objections and may direct the commission to modify the proposal if DE determines that the objections are reasonable. | In Committee |

Current law provides that the attachment of territory of a school district that is subject to an approved dissolution proposal is effective July 1 following such approval. The bill modifies this provision to provide that such attachment is effective July 1 in the calendar year immediately subsequent to the calendar year in which the attachment was approved. The bill applies to school district dissolution propositions that are approved by voters on or after the effective date of the bill. | In Committee |

The bill creates a disaster assistance grant fund under the control of the authority to support the program. To be eligible to receive a grant, a homeowner’s primary residence must have sustained damage that is not covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy or by other federal or state disaster-related financial assistance. The bill requires the authority to adopt application procedures, forms, administrative guidelines, and other rules for implementing and administering the program. | In Committee |

The bill defines “direct contact” as physical contact or proximity where physical contact is possible, including but not limited to any proximity without a permanent barrier designed to prevent physical contact between the public and a dangerous wild animal. The bill defines “member of the public” as a person not otherwise authorized to be in direct contact with a dangerous wild animal. A violation of Code section 717F.14 is an aggravated misdemeanor. An aggravated misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than two years and a fine of at least $855 but not more than $8,540. The bill adds sharks that can grow to more than 23 inches in length or that have a documented history of biting humans to the definition of “dangerous wild animal”. | In Committee |
