Died when the session ended · The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill amends the definition of “eligible program” for purposes of the future ready Iowa skilled workforce last-dollar scholarship program to provide that an eligible program at a community college shall also include a program of study or an academic major that leads to a credential aligned with a job in early childhood education. Currently, “eligible program” means a program of study or an academic major that leads to a credential aligned with a high-demand job as designated by the workforce development board or a community college. In creating a list of high-demand jobs, certain criteria must be met, including an entry-level hourly wage of not less than $14.
