What’s in it

AI summary This bill removes a specific mention of a tax law update from the definition of what counts as a qualified education expense. It changes how the Iowa educational savings plan trust describes these expenses without changing the actual rules for what you can buy.¹

Read the official explanation

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).
