HF 2029 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to health care coverage of public school district personnel under the state health insurance plan, providing fees, making appropriations, and including effective date provisions.

This bill allows public school district employees and elected officials to enroll in Iowa's state health insurance plan, matching the premium rates paid by state employees. School districts must apply for coverage and pay monthly premiums plus administrative fees, deposited into a dedicated trust fund for the program. Unpaid premiums incur interest, and the state may withhold district funding until payments are made. Annual reports on enrollment, costs, and program impact are required. The bill takes effect July 1, 2027.
