A bill for an act establishing requirements relating to the residency of persons accepted for admission to the state university of Iowa’s colleges of medicine, nursing, and dentistry and requiring an annual report.

HF 137 requires the University of Iowa to admit at least 80% of students in its colleges of medicine, nursing, and dentistry who are Iowa residents or who previously attended an Iowa community college, private institution, or regents university. The bill directly affects prospective students applying to these specific health science programs. It also mandates an annual report to Iowa lawmakers detailing where graduates and medical residents live after completing their studies, including whether they moved out of state. The report must break down residency patterns by program and whether graduates attended Iowa schools before applying.
