HSB 591 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act establishing the medical spa oversight Act, and making penalties applicable.

This bill establishes Iowa's first statewide licensing and oversight system for medical spas, directly affecting businesses offering non-medical wellness services like Botox, laser hair removal, and IV vitamin therapies. It requires all medical spas to obtain a license from the Board of Medicine, maintain public online records of locations and staff, and report serious adverse events (such as complications from treatments) within five business days. The bill also mandates proper storage of prescription drugs, prohibits deceptive marketing claims about treatments, and authorizes fines of up to $500 per violation for unlicensed operations or failure to comply with inspections. These provisions aim to standardize safety and transparency for wellness service providers operating under current regulatory gaps.
