SF 2137: Relating to the definition of qualified education expenses

What it does

For purposes of the Iowa educational savings plan trust (Code chapter 12D), this bill strikes an unnecessary reference to a specific amendment to the Internal Revenue Code in the definition of “qualified education expenses”. “Internal Revenue Code” is defined in Code chapter 12D to mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder (see Code section 12I.1).
