Property Tax Bills
House File 2745 (Successor to House Study Bill 596)
House Study Bill 563 (Gov. Reynolds' bill)
Additional legislation that may impact Extension
Senate File 2219 | Requires school districts, charter schools, and accredited nonpublic schools to adopt policies that excuse student absences for 4-H and FFA activities.
Senate Study Bill 1036 | Changes school start date from Aug 23 to "Monday immediately preceding the last Monday in August"
Iowa Skilled Workforce Act (House Study Bill 674) | many components of the bill, but one could involve 4-H Youth Development: The bill “encourages” school districts to enhance workforce preparedness, expand pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs at high schools, establish a “work-based learning coordinator” to help with training programs and other work-based learning, and seek other funding to get those expansions done.
