Iowa Governor Reynolds addresses a Coralville conference on ending federal unemployment benefits for out of work Iowans while urging workforce development and Last Dollar Scholarships. She signals a likely late-year special session to redraw political boundaries after the 2020 census and notes redistricting will be the session focus.
Gov. Kim Reynolds signed Senate File 243 creating a duty to assist for emergencies after Noah Herring, 15, drowned at Coralville Lake in 2020. The measure requires attempting to contact authorities if safe, and criminalizes concealing a corpse location. A second bill, HF 857, funds artisanal butchery programs and grants for small meat processors.
Gov. Kim Reynolds named John Benson as interim director of the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Benson, HSEMD chief of staff since 2019 and with the agency since 1992, succeeds Paul Trombino who left May 20 for a new role. The agency coordinates disaster readiness and federal aid following the August derecho and 37 county disaster declarations.
UI diversity official Liz Tovar says building leadership for diversity and implicit bias training will continue under House File 802. The bill bans mandatory training that frames races or sexes as inherently racist or inferior, but university instruction and DEI efforts will remain available to students and staff.
Iowa reports 109 new infections bringing total to 372,239 with a seven-day average of 89. Vaccinations reach 1.349 million fully vaccinated, 42.78 percent of Iowans overall. Six new deaths raise total to 6,084. hospitalizations rise to 85 with 18 in intensive care.
Iowa will stop automatically allocating vaccines to counties as state data shows. Linn and Johnson counties report vaccination rates above the state average while Governor Reynolds rejects incentive programs. She aims for 75 percent adult vaccination by end of June, with 52.9 percent fully vaccinated and 62.3 percent having at least one dose as of Tuesday.
