HF 2429 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to prohibited terms in state agency publications.

HF 2429 prohibits Iowa state agencies from using the term "West Bank" to refer to Judea and Samaria in official government materials, such as press releases, rules, or guidance documents. It also bans the use of state funds to create such materials containing that term. State agency heads may waive these restrictions if they determine it serves the state's interest, but must provide a written justification to the legislature within 30 days. This bill directly affects all state agencies producing public communications and aims to standardize terminology in official state publications.
