What’s in it
This bill relates to a focused review of Iowa cancer surveillance data. The bill appropriates $2 million from the general fund of the state to the department of health and human services (HHS) for FY 2024-2025 to perform a focused review of Iowa cancer surveillance data. The bill directs HHS to collaborate with the Iowa cancer consortium to perform a focused review of the cancer incidence data collected in the state health registry of Iowa/Iowa cancer registry and the 2023-2027 Iowa cancer plan to investigate the causality of the increased incidence of cancer in Iowa and to recommend strategies and specific action steps, including policy changes, to guide cancer control activities.
