HF 2368 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the Iowa medical freedom Act, including limitations on requiring medical interventions by businesses, governmental entities, and educational institutions, modifying state authority during public health disasters, and including effective date provisions.

HF 2368, the Iowa Medical Freedom Act, restricts businesses, schools, and government entities from requiring medical interventions (like vaccinations) as a condition for services, attendance, or employment - except for specific foreign travel requirements. It prohibits businesses from denying service or employment based on medical intervention status, and bans schools and government agencies from mandating such interventions for students, staff, or access to public services. Exceptions allow employers to require medical interventions only for international travel where foreign entry requires them, with written contracts or 14 days' advance notice. The bill aims to prevent discrimination in employment or service access related to medical interventions while preserving limited foreign travel exceptions.
