A bill for an act relating to and making appropriations to the education system, including the funding and operation of the department for the blind, department of education, state board of regents, department of workforce development, and Iowa special education council.
HF 2783 allocates state funding for the 2026-2027 fiscal year to support various education agencies, including the Department for the Blind, the Department of Education, and the State Board of Regents. The bill provides specific amounts for salaries, operational expenses, and the hiring of full-time equivalent positions across areas such as general administration, career and technical education, and early childhood services. It also establishes new programs, including a statewide clearinghouse to expand work-based learning and summer college classes for high school students, while funding existing initiatives like birth-to-age-three services and statewide student assessments. This legislation directly affects school districts, educational institutions, and the agencies responsible for administering these programs throughout Iowa.

MINOR
The bill was reprinted from its enrolled version to a clean legislative format, removing the 'Enrolled' status and adding committee headers and page numbers. The substantive policy content, including all funding amounts, fiscal year dates, and program descriptions, remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'Enrolled' status and the specific text regarding unencumbered funds remaining available for the succeeding fiscal year, as this information is typically handled by the legislative clerk during the printing process.
Added committee headers, bill numbers, page numbers, and a note indicating the bill is a successor to HSB 778.
Changed the layout from a vertical, line-by-line amendment format to a standard horizontal bill format with numbered sections.
