A bill for an act relating to Hawki coverage for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder applied behavior analysis services, and the autism support program.

HF 509 modifies Iowa's autism support program by prohibiting new applications after June 30, 2025, while ensuring continued services for individuals approved before that date. The bill repeals the autism support program entirely effective July 1, 2027, and transfers any unspent funds from its dedicated support fund to the Hawki trust fund. It also requires medical assistance plans to cover applied behavior analysis services for autism spectrum disorder treatment. This directly affects current and future applicants to Iowa's autism support program, phasing out new enrollment while maintaining existing coverage until the program's sunset.
