Iowa’s Students First Act Passes! Now What?

January 27, 2023 By IACS

The “Students First Act” (House File 68), was signed into law by Governor Kim Reynolds Tuesday, January 24th. The bill passed the House by a vote of 55-45 and the Senate 31-18 the evening before.  It was great timing as both chambers passed the bill and Governor Reynolds signed it during National School Choice Week.
