| Bill | Bill Name | Summary | Progress |
|---|---|---|---|
| HF965 | A bill for an act relating to the adoption tax credit available against the individual income tax, and including effective date and retroactive applicability provisions.(See HF 1026.) | This bill relates to the adoption tax credit available against the individual income tax. Currently, the tax credit equals up to $5,000 of qualified adoption expenses per adoption. The bill increases the tax credit to equal up to $20,000 of qualified adoption expenses per adoption. Any credit in excess of the tax liability is refundable. “Qualified adoption expenses” means unreimbursed expenses paid or incurred in connection with the adoption of a child, including medical and hospital expenses of the biological mother which are incident to the child’s birth, welfare agency fees, legal fees, and all other fees and costs which relate to the adoption of a child. “Child” means an individual under 18 years of age. Current law in Code section 422.12A(4) determines the tax year when qualified adoption expenses are allowed. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies retroactively to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, for adoptions finalized on or after that date. | In Committee |
| HF963 | A bill for an act exempting the sale of laundry soap or detergent from the sales tax.(See HF 1022.) | This bill exempts the sale of laundry soap or detergent. 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 |
| HF962 | A bill for an act modifying the child and dependent care credit available against the individual income tax, and including retroactive applicability provisions.(See HF 1020.) | This bill relates to the Iowa child and dependent care credit available against the individual income tax. The Iowa child and dependent care credit is a refundable credit calculated as a percentage of the federal child and dependent care credit, depending on the Iowa net income of the taxpayer. Currently, there are seven graduated Iowa net income thresholds used to calculate the credit. The bill reduces the number of Iowa net income thresholds from seven thresholds to four thresholds, and removes the maximum Iowa net income threshold amount used by the taxpayer to calculate the Iowa child and dependent care tax credit. By removing the maximum Iowa net income threshold amount for eligibility purposes ($90,000), any taxpayer with Iowa net income equal to or exceeding $25,000 is eligible to use 50 percent of the federal child and dependent care credit as a refundable credit against the Iowa individual income tax, regardless of whether the taxpayer’s federal credit is limited by the taxpayer’s federal tax liability. The bill applies retroactively to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. | In Committee |
| HF964 | A bill for an act exempting the sale of toilet paper from the sales tax.(See HF 1019.) | This bill exempts the sale of toilet paper from the sales tax.

| HF966 | A bill for an act exempting the sale of dietary supplements from the sales tax.(See HF 1021.) | This bill exempts the sale of dietary supplements from the sales tax. “Dietary supplement” is defined in Code section 423.3(57)(c), and includes vitamins and minerals. 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 |

| HF692 | A bill for an act relating to deer hunting privileges of disabled veterans, and making penalties applicable.(See HF 885.) | This bill relates to deer hunting privileges of disabled veterans. Under the bill, a resident who served in the armed forces of the United States on federal active duty who was disabled during that veteran’s military service may use a deer hunting license and tag issued to the resident during any established deer hunting season for which the method of take authorized for the season being hunted corresponds with the method of take authorized by the license. A person hunting in such manner shall, upon request of a peace officer, display proof of the person’s resident and disability status. A person who fails to provide the necessary documentation is guilty of a simple misdemeanor punishable as a scheduled fine of $30. A person charged with failing to produce the necessary documentation may avoid conviction if the person produces in court, within a reasonable time, proof of the person’s resident and disability status. | In Committee |
| HF292 | A bill for an act relating to persons eligible for special registration plates with a veteran processed emblem.(See HF 779.) | Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) is authorized to issue special registration plates with a distinguishing processed emblem depicting the word “veteran” below an image of the American flag to a motor vehicle owner who served in the armed forces of the United States and was discharged under honorable conditions. Pursuant to rules adopted by the DOT (761 IAC 401.31), an application for special plates with a veteran processed emblem must be submitted to the commission of veterans affairs on a form prescribed by the DOT. The commission of veterans affairs must determine whether the applicant is a veteran and, if so, certify this fact on the application form. This bill makes persons who served in the reserve forces of the United States or the Iowa national guard, regardless of the number of years of service, and who were discharged under honorable conditions eligible to receive special registration plates with a veteran processed emblem. Under current law, “veteran”, when used in Code chapter 35 (veterans affairs), and in numerous other provisions by reference, includes former members of the reserve forces of the United States or the Iowa national guard who served at least 20 years and who were discharged under honorable conditions; members of the reserve forces of the United States or the Iowa national guard who were activated for federal duty, other than training, for a minimum aggregate of 90 days, and were discharged under honorable conditions or were retired in accordance with federal law; and members of the reserve forces of the United States or the Iowa national guard who have served at least 20 years and who continue to serve. | 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 |
| HF469 | A bill for an act relating to state services and benefits provided to veterans, including state grants, public assistance programs, business fee waivers, substance use disorder programs, mental health and disability services, undergraduate tuition and fees, disabled veteran tax credits, department of natural resources' licenses and fees, civil litigation priority, permit to carry weapons fees, vehicle registration fees, and driver's licenses, making penalties applicable, making appropriations, a | This bill relates to state services and benefits provided to veterans. DIVISION I —— VETERANS PREFERENCE —— STATE GRANTS. This division requires a state agency to give preference to a veteran over another applicant of similar qualifications for the award of a grant that is overseen, implemented, or funded by the state. DIVISION II —— VETERAN PREFERENCE —— PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. This division requires the state to provide veterans who are citizens and residents of the United States a preference for assistance programs including but not limited to public assistance, the family investment program, the supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children, the state child care assistance program, and the United States department of housing and urban development housing choice voucher program. DIVISION III —— BUSINESS FEE WAIVERS. BACKGROUND (BUSINESS ENTITIES). A business entity is a general term for an association formed to conduct business under several types of organizational structures recognized by law (e.g., partnership and limited partnership, business and nonprofit corporation, limited liability company, and cooperative). Generally, a business entity may be formed as a domestic business entity in its home state or as a foreign business entity doing business in a state although it was formed in another home state. In Iowa, a business entity is governed under its own dedicated Code chapter, often based on model legislation with fee amounts reserved for decision by the enacting body. In Iowa, like most states, a business entity is under the general authority of the secretary of state (secretary). SUMMARY. This division provides that a qualified business entity that requests and receives a military service filing fee waiver (waiver) from the secretary is not required to submit a fee for filing a number of select documents. The division specifies qualifications for a business entity, eligibility for the filer of a select document, and the names of select documents having fees waived, subject to further requirements that the secretary may adopt by rule. STATUTORY ORGANIZATION. The division amends Code chapter 9 establishing the secretary’s office. Specifically, it enacts new provisions in subchapter II of that Code chapter which currently includes provisions authorizing extra filing services. It also amends various Code chapters each of which governs a specific type of business entity. The division amends the principal Code section in each such Code chapter that includes a laundry list of fees for filing documents. IN DETAIL —— QUALIFIED BUSINESS ENTITIES. First, in order to receive a waiver, the business entity must be qualified, meaning that the waiver is limited to a domestic or foreign limited partnership (Code chapter 488); domestic or foreign limited liability company (Code chapter 489); domestic or foreign business corporation (Code chapter 490); and domestic or foreign nonprofit corporation (Code chapter 504). IN DETAIL —— ELIGIBLE FILERS. Second, an individual acting on behalf of the qualified business entity must meet eligibility criteria. The individual must sign the document; must be an interest holder in the qualified business entity; and must be serving in the United States armed forces, the national guard or organized reserves, the United States coast guard, or the civil air patrol, or alternatively must be a veteran. IN DETAIL —— SELECT DOCUMENTS FOR FILING. Third, the filed document must be selected to receive the waiver. A select document may include those associated with the business entity’s organization, name, registered agent or registered office, domestication or conversion, merger, dissolution or reinstatement, foreign registration, correction, validation, biennial report, or other document required or permitted to be filed. The amount of the fee ranges from $5 to $100. EFFECTIVE DATE. This division takes effect January 1, 2026. DIVISION IV —— SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER PROGRAMS —— MENTAL HEALTH AND DISABILITY SERVICES. This division requires each facility licensed under Code chapter 125 (substance use disorders) that maintains a wait list for care, maintenance, or treatment of persons with a substance use disorder to place a veteran on the wait list in a position that allows the veteran priority for acceptance into the treatment program before any person on the wait list who is not a veteran, but after each veteran currently on the wait list. The division requires each service provider operating through the mental health and disability services regional service system that maintains a wait list for mental health or disability services to place a veteran on the wait list in a position that allows the veteran to receive the services before any person on the wait list who is not a veteran, but after each veteran currently on the wait list. DIVISION V —— WAIVER OF UNDERGRADUATE TUITION AND MANDATORY FEES. This division requires the state board of regents to adopt rules that waive undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees for veterans, or a dependent of the veteran, while the veteran or dependent is enrolled in an institution of higher education under the board’s control, if the veteran was a resident of this state immediately prior to joining the armed forces of the United States, was discharged under honorable conditions, and resides in this state immediately prior to applying to enroll, or prior to the dependent applying to enroll, in the institution. The division provides that the rules shall not waive an amount of tuition and mandatory fees that exceeds the difference between the combined amount of tuition and mandatory fees charged by the institution less any federal financial aid award the veteran or dependent receives. The division defines “dependent” to mean the spouse or child of a veteran. The division defines “veteran” by reference to Code section 35.1. DIVISION VI —— DRIVER’S LICENSE —— VETERAN STATUS —— FEES. This division of the bill relates to driver’s licenses issued to veterans. Current law requires the department of transportation (DOT) to mark a driver’s license with the word “VETERAN” if the applicant is a qualifying veteran. Under Code section 321.189, a licensee must be an honorably discharged veteran of the armed forces of the United States to qualify for a veteran status license. The DOT has adopted administrative rules defining “veteran” for purposes of licensees requesting a veteran status license (761 IAC 605.5(7)(e)). The bill strikes certain existing service qualifications and instead references the definition of “veteran” provided in Code section 35.1. Under current law, the DOT is prohibited from charging a fee to issue a noncommercial driver’s license or license valid for motorcycles to an applicant who is a veteran with a permanent service-connected disability rating of 100 percent, as certified by the United States department of veterans affairs. The bill prohibits the DOT from charging a fee to issue a noncommercial driver’s license ($4 per year of validity), license for chauffeurs ($8 per year of validity), commercial driver’s license ($8 per year of license validity), or license valid for motorcycles (an additional fee of $2 per year of validity) to a veteran, as defined in Code section 35.1. DIVISION VII —— VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEES —— VETERANS EXEMPT. This division of the bill relates to registration fees for vehicles owned by veterans. Current law exempts seriously disabled veterans who have been provided with an automobile or other vehicle by the United States government from paying motor vehicle registration fees. The bill exempts all other veterans who reside in Iowa from paying annual vehicle registration fees for not more than three vehicles registered by the veteran, and provides for one free set of regular registration plates for each vehicle. In lieu of the set of regular registration plates available without fee, a veteran may obtain a set of special registration plates or personalized registration plates by paying the additional fees associated with those plates under current law. Under current law, several special registration plates relating to service in the armed forces are available at no charge to eligible persons. DIVISION VIII —— DISABLED VETERANS PROPERTY TAX CREDIT. This division creates a property tax credit for certain veterans. The division defines “qualifying veteran” as a person who meets the definition of a veteran under Code section 35.1 (veterans affairs), and has a disability rating of 20 percent or more as certified by the United States department of veterans affairs. The division allows a qualifying veteran a credit on each property that is owned solely by the qualifying veteran or jointly by the qualifying veteran and the qualifying veteran’s spouse. The amount of the credit on a property is equal to the property tax owed on the property multiplied by the disability rating given to the qualifying veteran as certified by the United States department of veterans affairs, up to a maximum reduction of $10,000 per property. The division allows the credit to continue until the later to occur between the qualifying veteran’s death and the earlier to occur between the qualifying veteran’s surviving spouse’s death or remarriage. Except upon a county veterans service officer’s request for the purposes of providing information on benefits and services available to veterans and their families, the bill makes confidential the list of the names and addresses of individuals allowed a credit under the bill and maintained by the county recorder, county treasurer, county assessor, city assessor, or other government body. The bill prohibits this information from being disseminated to any person unless otherwise ordered by a court or released by the lawful custodian of the records pursuant to state or federal law. The county recorder, county treasurer, county assessor, city assessor, or other government body responsible for maintaining the names and addresses of individuals allowed a credit may display the credit on individual paper records and individual electronic records, including display on an internet site. The division requires the department of revenue, the department of administrative services, county auditors, county treasurers, and assessors to administer the disabled veteran tax credit in a manner similar to the military service tax credit and exemptions in Code chapter 426A. The division makes any person who makes a false affidavit for the purpose of obtaining the disabled veteran tax credit or who knowingly receives the credit without being legally entitled to the credit guilty of a fraudulent practice. A fraudulent practice is punishable based on the amount of value involved, and may range from a simple misdemeanor punishable by confinement for no more than 30 days and a fine of at least $105 but not more than $855, to a class “C” felony punishable by confinement for no more than 10 years and a fine of at least $1,370 but not more than $13,660. The division appropriates from the general fund of the state amounts necessary to fund the disabled veteran tax credit. DIVISION IX —— DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES —— LICENSES AND FEES. This division prohibits the department of natural resources from requiring a veteran to pay a fee for camping and using rental facilities at state parks and recreation areas. A veteran who applies to register a vessel for use in Iowa waters shall not be assessed a fee to receive the registration certificate. A veteran applying for any hunting, fur harvester, or fishing license is not required to pay the license fee nor the wildlife habitat fee, if applicable. A veteran who was disabled or was a prisoner of war shall not be assessed a fee in applying for a lifetime fishing license and a lifetime hunting and fishing combined license. A veteran may also obtain a lifetime trout fishing license without paying a fee if the veteran is at least 65 years of age or qualifies for the disabled veteran homestead credit, and the department of natural resources shall not require any veteran to pay a trout fishing fee. The department of veteran affairs shall assist the department of natural resources in verifying the status and claims of the veterans applying for recreational privileges for which fees are generally required. DIVISION X —— CIVIL LITIGATION BY VETERANS. This division of the bill requires a court to, when able, grant a veteran bringing a civil action or appeal priority over other actions brought by other persons. DIVISION XI —— PERMIT TO CARRY WEAPONS FEES. This division exempts a veteran who has a service-connected disability from paying a fee for a permit to carry weapons. An initial permit has a fee of $50 and a renewal permit or duplicate permit has a fee of $25. | In Committee |
| HF810 | A bill for an act relating to granting supplemental aid or a modified supplemental amount for school districts with high open enrollments, and including effective date and applicability provisions. | Code section 257.31(5) establishes circumstances under which the school budget review committee (committee) may grant supplemental aid or a modified supplemental amount to a district. This bill modifies the calculations for supplemental aid or a modified supplemental amount for such school districts under circumstances of high open enrollment into the district by striking the teacher salary supplement district cost per pupil from the amount. The bill strikes the limitation that specified a school district is only eligible for supplemental aid or a modified supplemental amount related to increasing open enrollment for the budget year beginning July 1, 2024. The bill also strikes a provision in 2024 Iowa Acts, chapter 1152, section 45, and moves the provision to Code section 257.31(5)(o) with modifications. The provision specifies that if a school district with high open enrollment into the district is granted a modified supplemental amount for a budget year beginning on or after July 1, 2025, the school district’s combined property tax rate for all school district levies for the succeeding budget year shall not exceed the combined property tax rate for all such levies for the budget year for which the modified supplemental amount was granted. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies to school budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2025. | In Committee |
| HF815 | A bill for an act relating to annual automatic increases in Medicaid provider reimbursement rates. | This bill provides for an annual automatic increase in the reimbursement rates for Medicaid providers. The bill provides that notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary regarding inflation factors or indexing of Medicaid provider reimbursement rates, and in addition to any other change in reimbursement rates specified for a fiscal year, the department of health and human services shall automatically increase the reimbursement rate of a Medicaid provider on July 1, annually, by applying a 2.5 percent increase to the specific provider’s current reimbursement rate. | In Committee |
| HF808 | A bill for an act relating to managed care organization chargebacks and third-party auditors. | This bill requires a managed care organization (MCO) acting pursuant to a contract with the department of health and human services to administer the medical assistance program to issue a chargeback to a provider within 12 months from the date the MCO provided reimbursement to the provider. The bill requires an MCO to negotiate a fee with a third-party auditor (auditor) prior to the auditor initiating an audit of a provider. An MCO shall not base compensation for an auditor on the percentage of chargebacks identified by the auditor. | In Committee |
| HF809 | A bill for an act providing for the repeal of the beverage containers control program, and including effective date provisions. | This bill provides for the repeal of the beverage containers control program, commonly referred to as the “bottle bill”. Under current law, when a distributor sells beverages in eligible containers to a dealer, the distributor adds 5 cents per eligible container to the sale price. When a dealer sells beverages in eligible containers to a consumer, the dealer adds the 5-cent deposit to the sale price of each beverage container. A consumer can take eligible beverage containers to a participating dealer or redemption center and receive a 5-cent refund for every eligible beverage container that the consumer returns. A distributor collects eligible containers from a participating dealer, dealer agent, or redemption center, at which time the distributor pays the participating dealer, dealer agent, or redemption center 5 cents per eligible container plus a handling fee of an additional 1 cent or 3 cents per eligible container. Upon enactment, the bill strikes the provision of the beverage containers control program that requires a dealer to charge a consumer the refund value for each beverage container, repeals the requirement that the refund value be stated on containers, and repeals provisions relating to redemption center approval. Six months thereafter, the bill repeals the remaining provisions of the program, including provisions allowing a consumer to return beverage containers in exchange for the refund value, allowing a participating dealer or a person operating a redemption center to return beverage containers to a distributor in exchange for the refund value and handling fee, allowing refusal of beverage containers, and providing for enforcement and associated penalties. Any unencumbered and unobligated moneys remaining in the bottle bill fund are transferred to the general fund of the state. Thirty days later, any amount of refund value or handling fees possessed by a distributor after the distributor has made payments and fees required pursuant to current Code chapter 455C shall be considered the property of the distributor. During the 30-day period, a distributor who pays a handling fee for a beverage container that was sold for consumption off the premises and that used to contain beer, including high alcoholic content beer, may continue to claim a refund of the barrel tax as provided by current law. The bill does not repeal Code section 455C.16, which prohibits disposal of beverage containers in a sanitary landfill by a participating dealer, distributor, manufacturer, or a redemption center, or strike the associated definitions in Code section 455C.1. The bill amends various Code provisions to conform with changes to the beverage containers control program as changes to the program become effective. | In Committee |
| HF466 | A bill for an act relating to contracts between a publisher and a library for electronic literary materials, and providing civil penalties. | This bill relates to contracts between a publisher and a library for electronic literary materials. The bill prohibits a contract or license agreement between a publisher and a library from precluding, limiting, and restricting the library from performing customary operational or lending functions. The contract or license agreement shall not contain a provision that prohibits the library from loaning electronic literary material (material); restricts the number of times the library may loan material over the course of the license agreement; limits the number of material licenses the library may purchase on the same date the material is made available for purchase by the public; prohibits the library from making nonpublic preservation copies of material; restricts the library from disclosing the terms of the contract or license agreement to another library in the state; restricts the duration of the contract or license agreement unless the publisher has also offered the library a contract or license agreement that is either based on a pay-per-use model or provides for the perpetual public use of the material; and requires the library to violate the provisions of Code section 22.7. “Borrower”, “electronic literary material”, “library”, “loan”, “loan period”, and “publisher” are defined in the bill. The bill authorizes a contract or license agreement between a publisher and a library to limit the number of borrowers the library may allow to have simultaneous access to material. The bill also authorizes a contract or license agreement between a publisher and a library to require the library’s reasonable use of a technological protection measure that prevents a borrower from maintaining access to material beyond the loan period specified in the license, or from providing another person with access to material. The bill authorizes the attorney general, upon reasonable belief that a publisher is in violation of the bill, to bring civil action to enjoin further violations by the publisher, enforce compliance with the bill, assess a civil penalty not to exceed $100,000 per violation of the bill, and to obtain other remedies permitted under law. | In Committee |
| HF138 | A bill for an act relating to the Iowa rules of criminal procedure including the right to a speedy trial. | This bill relates to the Iowa rules of criminal procedure including the right to a speedy trial. The bill directs the supreme court to revise the rules of criminal procedure to provide that a defendant must be brought to trial within 120 days after an indictment is found or after a change in venue is granted by the court. Current rules require that a defendant must be brought to trial within 90 days after an indictment is found or after a change in venue is granted by the court. The bill requires the revised rules to be submitted to the legislative council for review no later than October 14, 2025. The bill takes effect upon enactment. | In Committee |
| HF457 | A bill for an act relating to the driver's license revocation effective date following an operating-while-intoxicated violation or refusal to test.(See HF 635.) | Under current law, a person who operates a motor vehicle in a manner that gives reasonable grounds to believe that the person is operating while intoxicated (OWI) is deemed to have given consent to the withdrawal of specimens of the person’s blood, breath, or urine and to a chemical test of the specimens to determine the alcohol concentration or presence of a controlled substance or other drugs. The department of transportation (DOT) is required to revoke the driver’s license of a person if the results of a test indicate an OWI violation or if the person refuses to provide a specimen for testing. The revocation begins 10 days after notice of the revocation is mailed by the DOT or immediately served by the peace officer who requested chemical testing. If a peace officer serves immediate notice of the revocation, the officer must take the driver’s license and issue a temporary driver’s license valid for 10 days. This bill extends the period before an OWI driver’s license revocation begins, and extends the validity of a temporary driver’s license issued following an OWI revocation, from 10 days to 20 days after notice is served. The bill does not amend the 10-day periods for a person to request a hearing or challenge the decision of the DOT director on an OWI driver’s license revocation. | In Committee |
| HF559 | A bill for an act relating to animal abuse, neglect, and torture, and providing penalties. | This bill relates to animal abuse, neglect, and torture. The bill provides that a person who commits animal abuse or animal neglect that results in serious injury or death to the animal, or a person who commits animal torture, is guilty of 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. Current law designates a first offense as an aggravated misdemeanor, and a class “D” felony for subsequent violations. | 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 |
| HF468 | A bill for an act relating to the display of the national league of families POW/MIA flag. | This bill requires all state-owned buildings to display the national league of families POW/MIA flag in accordance with federal rules whenever the flag of the United States of America is flown. | In Committee |
| HF52 | A bill for an act relating to civil liability of sports officials, providing criminal penalties for assault of sports officials, and including effective date and applicability provisions. | This bill provides that a sports official who officiates an athletic contest at any level of competition in Iowa shall not be liable to any person in any civil action for injuries or damages claimed to have arisen due to actions or inactions within the confines of the athletic facility at which the athletic contest is played related in any manner to the sports official’s officiating duties. This provision does not apply to a sports official who causes injury or damage to a person by actions or inactions that are intentional, malicious, or grossly negligent. The bill applies to legal actions commenced after the effective date of the bill, including legal actions that allege actions or inactions of a sports official that occurred prior to the effective date of the bill.

| HF294 | A bill for an act allowing certain cities to certify taxes for general fund levy for libraries. | 2023 Iowa Acts, chapter 71 (HF 718), amended Code section 384.12 (additional taxes) to eliminate several taxes a city may levy subject to voter approval at an election. In lieu thereof, HF 718 enacted Code section 384.1(3)(b)(2), which allows cities to levy the same amounts the eliminated taxes could have levied as a part of the cities’ general fund levy. One levy that was eliminated by HF 718 was a levy to support a public library up to a maximum amount of 27 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. This bill allows cities to impose a tax for the support of a public library in an amount not to exceed the amount levied by the city in FY 2022-2023 for the same purpose. The bill requires, prior to imposing a tax for the support of a public library, for a city council to submit the question to voters at a regular city election of whether to impose the tax, and a majority of voters approve the levy. The bill limits the validity of a tax in support of a public library to a period of 10 years from the date the tax is approved by voters at a regular city election. The tax may be extended for additional 10-year periods if reauthorized by the voters at election. A city council may discontinue the tax by a majority vote of the city council. | In Committee |
| HF156 | A bill for an act raising the limit certain townships may levy for fire protection service and emergency medical service. | Under current law, a township may levy taxes to provide for fire and emergency medical services. Townships with a population of 300,000 or more may levy an annual tax not to exceed 67.5 cents per $1,000 of assessed value of taxable property. Townships with a fire protection service agreement, an emergency medical service agreement, or both with a special charter city may levy an annual tax not to exceed 54 cents per $1,000 of assessed value of taxable property. All other townships may levy an annual tax not to exceed 40.5 cents per $1,000 of assessed value of taxable property. This bill raises the maximum a township without a fire protection or emergency medical service agreement with a special charter city, and with a population below 300,000, may levy for providing fire and emergency medical services from 40.5 cents per $1,000 of assessed value of taxable property in the township to 91 cents per $1,000 of assessed value of taxable property in the township. | In Committee |
