What’s in it

AI summary Iowa would give a set amount of money to the state board of regents every year to fund pediatric cancer research at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. The amount of money provided each year would match the state's population. Every October, the board must tell the governor and the legislature how they spent the money from the previous year.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides a standing appropriation from the general fund of the state to the state board of regents each fiscal year in a dollar amount equal to the population of the state on July 1 of the same fiscal year, to be used for pediatric cancer research at the university of Iowa hospitals and clinics. The bill requires the board of regents to report to the governor and the general assembly by October 1 of each year on the expenditure of the moneys in the prior fiscal year.
