What’s in it

AI summary The Department of Health and Human Services will form a committee to see if Iowa should build a state training school specifically for girls under age 18. This group of experts will look into how much the school would cost, where it could be located, and what programs it would offer. They must finish their study and share their recommendations with state leaders by December 15, 2025.1

Read the official explanation

This bill directs the department of health and human services (HHS) to convene a study committee to meet during the 2025 legislative interim to examine the feasibility of establishing a state training school for females under the age of 18. The bill requires the committee, at a minimum, to examine issues relating to costs, potential locations for the school, potential programs to be offered, and estimated timelines for the school to become operational. The bill requires the membership of the committee to consist of, at a minimum, a representative from HHS, a representative from the state training school at Eldora, a children’s behavioral health specialist with expertise related to females under 18 years of age, an educator with experience teaching females under 18 years of age with behavioral health issues, and an expert with knowledge of providing transitional services to children leaving long-term placement in juvenile correction facilities. The bill requires the study committee to submit a report of the committee’s findings and recommendations to the general assembly and to the governor no later than December 15, 2025.
