A bill for an act relating to the revocation or denial of educator licenses and certificates for publicly celebrating assassinations or acts of politically motivated violence, and including effective date and retroactive applicability provisions.

This bill requires Iowa's educator licensing board to deny or revoke licenses for educators who publicly express approval of politically motivated violence, such as the killing of Charles J. Kirk. It defines "celebrate" as publicly stating phrases like "good riddance" or "one less fascist," and a single verified instance of such expression - via social media, public statements, or any public medium - would trigger license denial or revocation. The law specifies that this applies if the celebration demonstrates moral unfitness, risks disrupting schools, or undermines public trust in educators. However, it explicitly prohibits license revocation solely for protected First Amendment speech, such as political expression, unless it involves celebrating violence. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment and applies retroactively to September 10, 2025.
