HF 2544 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act requiring annual reports on and the prohibition of antisemitism in community colleges, regents institutions, and public school districts.

HF 2544 requires Iowa community colleges, state-regent institutions, and public school districts to prohibit antisemitism and report annually on incidents. Each institution must submit by September 1 a report detailing all antisemitism complaints or incidents from the prior academic year, including investigation outcomes, to the state board of education. The bill also mandates that these entities integrate policies into their codes of conduct prohibiting antisemitic harassment or discrimination - treating it equally with other forms of discrimination under federal law (specifically Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964). The state board of regents must similarly submit annual reports to the state board of education, including reviews of policies addressing antisemitism.
