A bill for an act relating to students who are pregnant or who recently gave birth who attend state institutions of higher education governed by the board of regents and community colleges.

HF 103 requires Iowa's public universities and community colleges to provide reasonable accommodations to students who are pregnant or recently gave birth. This includes allowing rescheduling of assignments and exams, granting up to 12 months for completing coursework or degrees (or longer if medically necessary), and permitting leave of absence without penalty. Institutions must also maintain written policies, post protections online, assign a staff contact for pregnancy-related support, and allow students to keep housing during leave. The law mandates that schools cannot force students to withdraw or limit participation due to pregnancy and establishes a complaint process through the Attorney General.
