HF 838 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act requiring a food establishment to post a routine inspection report card.

HF 838 requires restaurants and other food establishments serving food on-premises (like restaurants) to display a visible, letter-graded inspection report card. The card assigns grades based on inspection scores: "A" (90-100%), "B" (80-89%), or "C" (75-79%), with licenses suspended if scores fall below 75%. Establishments must post the most recent report card near entrances or in other conspicuous locations for public view. This law applies specifically to food service locations requiring on-premises consumption, building on existing inspection requirements.
