What’s in it
AI summary Iowa's community colleges and state universities would stop charging tuition and mandatory fees to sanitation workers and their children. To get this discount, the worker must have been employed in that role for at least one year during the last five years. Schools can ask for paperwork to prove the person worked in that job.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires regents institutions and community colleges to waive tuition and mandatory fees for a person employed as a sanitation worker, as defined in the bill, for at least one year within the previous five years and for the child of such a person. The institution or college may require that documentation of such employment be provided in order to qualify for such a waiver. The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code section 25B.3. The bill makes inapplicable Code section 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified. Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with any state mandate included in the bill.
