The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. This bill directs the department of health and human services (HHS or the department) to develop and implement an evidence-based vitamin and mineral sufficiency public awareness program to provide an integrated approach to vitamin and mineral sufficiency in Iowa. The elements of the program include: educating the general public about the science and benefits of adequate levels of vitamins and minerals; providing for the evaluation of members of the public for vitamin and mineral deficiencies at no cost to the public; and providing vitamin D supplementation from September through March 21, annually, to the public at no cost, as well as information regarding the importance of vitamin D sufficiency to immune health and its role in reducing mortality and hospitalization resulting from COVID-19 and respiratory illnesses. The department shall establish outcome measures to determine if the program results in a decreased prevalence of vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the population and if adjustments should be made to the program, and shall submit an annual report regarding the outcomes and any recommendations for program adjustments to the governor and the general assembly.
