A bill for an act relating to social studies instruction, including instruction in United States government, provided to students enrolled in grades nine through twelve, and including applicability provisions.

This bill requires Iowa high schools (grades 9-12) to increase mandated U.S. government instruction from half a unit to one full unit as part of social studies requirements. It specifically mandates teaching voting procedures, ballot systems, absentee voting, and the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. The policy applies to all public school districts, charter schools, and accredited nonpublic schools starting with the 2028-2029 school year. The change builds on existing requirements but expands the depth and scope of civic education content.
