Relating to vaccination exemptions for certain students in clinical rotations and the qualification of postsecondary schools as eligible institutions for Iowa tuition grants

This bill relates to vaccination exemptions for certain students in clinical rotations and the qualification for postsecondary schools as eligible institutions for Iowa tuition grants. The bill defines “clinical rotation” (rotation) as a period of training completed for academic credit by a student in a medical, nursing, or other health care-related degree that is supervised by a health care professional in a facility. The bill also defines “postsecondary school” and “facility”. The bill requires a postsecondary school offering a degree program requiring a rotation to, upon request of a student enrolled in the degree program, identify a rotation placement where the student will be exempt from any vaccination requirements imposed by the placement during the duration of the rotation. Under the bill, a postsecondary school that fails to comply does not qualify as an eligible institution for purposes of Iowa tuition grants.183.
