SF 2424 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to vaccination exemptions for certain students in clinical rotations and the qualification of postsecondary schools as eligible institutions for Iowa tuition grants, and providing civil penalties.

SF 2424 requires Iowa postsecondary schools offering health-related degree programs (like nursing) to identify clinical rotation placements where students can be exempt from vaccination requirements during their training. This directly affects healthcare students seeking clinical placements and accredited private colleges that must comply to maintain eligibility for Iowa tuition grants. Schools failing to provide such exemptions or respond to student reports of violations by September 30 face losing tuition grant eligibility and a $5,000 civil penalty. The bill enforces this through a student reporting process to the Attorney General, with penalties tied to annual compliance deadlines.
