What’s in it

AI summary Iowa would provide $2 million to the Department of Health and Human Services to grow its program that helps people return to their communities. This money would also increase the amount of money paid to providers for adult day care services. The state would then need to report to leaders on how this extra spending worked.1

Read the official explanation

This bill appropriates $2 million for FY 2026-2027 from the general fund of the state to the department of health and human services (HHS) to expand the Iowa return to community program. The bill requires HHS to submit a report to the governor and general assembly regarding the outcomes of the additional investment. Under current practice, the general assembly adopts provisions relating to HHS reimbursement rates each year in the annual HHS appropriations legislation. The bill provides for such HHS reimbursement rates for FY 2026-2027 but specifies that reimbursement for adult day care services provided under a home and community-based services waiver shall be increased by percent.

Why it matters. The Department of Health and Human Services would receive $2 million from the state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to expand the Iowa return to community program. This change would also increase the reimbursement rates for adult day care services provided under a home and community-based services waiver.2
