Iowa bill to post vaccine exemption rules for schools
Iowa House and Senate approved House File 299 sending it to Gov. Reynolds. The bill requires K-12 schools and licensed child care centers to publish vaccine exemption information on websites and in registration materials and to share it with parents and guardians. It also mandates boards to adopt rules to provide clear exemption guidance, and requires colleges and universities to adopt related policies. Democrats warn the measure could undermine public health amid rising vaccine skepticism while Republicans frame it as transparency.
