HF 502 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act modifying provisions related to the activities administration authorization established by the board of educational examiners.

HF 502 modifies Iowa's requirements for school activities administrators by changing the degree eligibility rule. Currently, applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in athletics, physical education, or a related field; this bill would instead require only a bachelor's degree in *any* academic field. It directly affects individuals seeking authorization to oversee school sports and extracurricular programs under the Board of Educational Examiners. The bill amends Section 256.146 of Iowa Code to establish this new requirement through administrative rules.
