What’s in it

AI summary Iowa would no longer require people to have a license to work as sign language interpreters or transliterators. The state would also get rid of the board that currently oversees these professionals. Any legal cases or money currently held by that board would be handled through special transition rules.1

Read the official explanation

This bill repeals Code chapter 154E, imposing licensing requirements on persons applying to practice sign language interpreting or transliterating in Iowa. The bill also repeals the Code section creating the board of sign language interpreters and transliterators and removes Code references to the board of sign language interpreters and transliterators. The bill includes transition provisions for the disposition of funds and property in the possession of the board of sign language interpreters and transliterators and continues any cause of action, administrative hearing, court proceeding, claim, and obligation against the board of sign language interpreters and transliterators in existence as of the effective date of the bill.
