What’s in it
AI summary Under the current rules, medical students who receive loan repayments for working in rural areas must pay back all the money if they do not finish their five-year commitment. This change would stop that requirement and instead prevent the state from sending any more money to a person who fails to finish their service. These new rules apply to anyone who starts receiving loan repayments through this program after the bill becomes law.1

_____ This bill relates to individuals who fail to fulfill the obligation to engage in practice in a service commitment area under the rural Iowa primary care loan repayment program (program).113. The bill provides that the college student aid commission is to make loan repayments after the completion of each year of practice. Current law requires an individual who receives loan repayments under the program to repay the commission the total amount of those loan repayments if the individual fails to fulfill the obligation to practice as a physician in a service area for five years. The bill strikes this requirement. The bill provides that, if the individual fails to fulfill the obligation to practice as a physician in a service area for five years, the commission is prohibited from making additional loan repayments to the individual. The bill applies to individuals who receive loan repayments under the program on or after the effective date of the bill.
