A bill for an act requiring annual reports on antisemitism in community colleges, regents institutions, and public school districts.
HSB 646 requires community colleges, state university systems (regents institutions), and public school districts to annually report on antisemitism incidents. Each institution must submit by September 1 to the state board of education a report detailing complaints, incidents, investigation findings, and outcomes from the prior academic year. The state board of education then compiles these reports into a single annual submission to the governor and legislature by October 1. The bill also mandates that the state board of regents review policies addressing antisemitic actions and speech at universities each year, including those findings in their report. This law directly affects all Iowa public K-12 schools, community colleges, and state universities.
