A bill for an act relating to state policies and programs with race or gender requirements.

Summary

The bill revises dozens of Iowa statutes to require state agencies, schools, courts and law‑enforcement bodies to adopt affirmative‑action plans, report on minority participation, and provide training on bias and de‑escalation. It creates a new minority academic grant program and gives the Department of Administrative Services oversight and sanction authority. The changes aim to improve access and fairness for historically under‑represented groups across state‑run programs.
