SF 2008 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act establishing requirements related to nonpublic schools that receive tuition payments from parents or guardians whose students are participating in the education savings account program.

SF 2008 requires nonpublic schools receiving tuition payments through Iowa's education savings account program to meet specific accountability standards. The bill mandates that these schools must follow the same accountability, data reporting, and auditing rules as public school districts. This applies to all nonpublic schools that accept payments from parents using savings account funds for tuition. The law directly affects participating nonpublic schools by requiring compliance with these district-level requirements to continue receiving program payments. It modifies the definition of "qualified educational expenses" to include these new conditions.
