Fiscal note
Cost: up to $500,000 Compare with other bills
House File 2489 is estimated to increase annual costs to the State of Iowa Insurance Plan by an amount ranging between approximately $100,000 and $500,000 beginning in FY 2025. It is anticipated that the lower end of this range is more likely to occur; however, the estimated cost cannot be determined. House File 2489 is also estimated to minimally increase annual costs to the Board of Regents Insurance Plans.
