HSB 27 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the veterans trust fund.

This bill adjusts Iowa's veterans trust fund funding rules based on the fund's balance. It raises the threshold from $50 million to $75 million: when the fund balance falls below $75 million on July 1, interest earnings and the first $500,000 from lottery funds are directed to the veterans commission for benefits. If the fund balance reaches or exceeds $75 million, lottery funds stop being allocated to veterans' programs and instead revert to the trust fund. The bill directly affects how lottery revenues support veterans' services and county veteran affairs programs.
