Iowa lawmakers push tax cuts and AE A reforms in 2024 session
The 2024 Iowa session advanced House File 2612 to keep AEAs as the main source of special education, with schools required to spend 90 percent of funding through AEAs. The House and Senate also approved a flat income tax plan set at 3.8 percent in 2025, plus property tax tweaks. Bills on immigration, school safety, and gun policy moved forward, while Religious Freedom Restoration Act was signed into law. Medicaid expansion for new moms was narrowed under Senate File 2251, reducing eligibility thresholds and extending post partum care to a full year for qualifying women.
