What’s in it
AI summary The state board of regents would require the University of Iowa's medical and dental schools to accept a certain percentage of students who are Iowa residents or previously attended schools in Iowa. Additionally, the university and its hospitals must send a yearly report to the state legislature about where their graduates and medical residents move after finishing their programs. This report would track where people go, their medical specialties, and whether they were Iowa residents when they started their training.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires the state board of regents to adopt a policy requiring that not less than percent of the students accepted at the colleges of medicine and dentistry at the state university of Iowa be residents of Iowa or persons who prior to applying to the college of medicine or dentistry were enrolled in a community college in Iowa, an accredited private institution in Iowa, or a regents university. The bill also requires the state university of Iowa, in collaboration with the university of Iowa hospitals and clinics (UIHC), to submit an annual report to the general assembly with information relating to the graduates of the colleges of dentistry and medicine and UIHC residency programs. The annual report must include information regarding which states the college of dentistry and college of medicine graduates and the medical residents moved to in the year following graduation or completion of medical residency, as well as information regarding whether or not the students and medical residents were Iowa residents at the time of admission to the college or acceptance in the medical residency, and information regarding the medical residents’ areas of specialty.

Fiscal note
AI summary This bill requires the University of Iowa's Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry to ensure at least 75.0% of accepted students are Iowa residents or previously enrolled in an eligible Iowa institution. It is estimated that this will reduce tuition revenue for these two colleges by $800,000 to $1.0 million annually.3

Description
House File 2383 requires the Board of Regents to adopt a policy requiring that not less than 75.0% of students accepted at the University of Iowa’s College of Medicine and College of Dentistry be either residents of Iowa or enrolled in an eligible postsecondary institution prior to enrolling in the College of Medicine or the College of Dentistry. Iowa Code section 261E.2 defines an eligible postsecondary institution as a public university under the control of the Board of Regents, an Iowa community college, or an accredited private college or university in Iowa.
Background
The base graduate tuition rates at the University of Iowa (UI) for FY 2020 are $10,079 for resident students and $29,026 for nonresidents, a differential of $18,947 for nonresident graduate students. Tuition rates for graduate students at the UI may vary beyond the base rate depending on the program of study, with higher rates for certain programs. According to the Board of Regents’ Fall 2018 Enrollment Report, resident students represented 66.3% of graduate and postgraduate enrollment in the College of Dentistry and 63.6% in the College of Medicine.
Assumptions
If HF 2383 is enacted, the Board of Regents anticipates a resulting reduction in nonresident tuition revenue of $400,000 to $500,000 per year for each of the two colleges. Based on the latest data available to the LSA regarding enrollments and tuition rates, this estimate seems to be reasonable and may be conservative.
Fiscal Impact
HF 2383 is estimated to reduce tuition revenue to the University of Iowa Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry by $800,000 to $1.0 million annually.
