What’s in it

This bill provides a standing appropriation from the general fund of the state to the state board of regents (regents) for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and each fiscal year thereafter in an amount equal to $1 per Iowa resident, based on the most recent annual population estimate by the United States census bureau, not to exceed $3 million per fiscal year. The bill provides that the moneys are to be used for pediatric cancer research, including laboratory research and clinical trials at the university of Iowa hospitals and clinics.

Read the full explanation

The moneys are not to be used for administrative or overhead costs and unrelated activities. The bill requires the regents to submit an annual report to the governor and the general assembly detailing how the moneys were used in the immediately preceding fiscal year.
