HF 8 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to student access to broad-spectrum cannabidiol products from school nurses during the school day.

HF 8 requires Iowa school districts and accredited nonpublic schools to create procedures allowing school nurses to provide broad-spectrum cannabidiol (CBD) products to students during the school day. The bill only permits products containing no THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), as defined in the bill, and mandates that parents or guardians must provide the product, supply manufacturer documentation confirming no THC, and complete a specific form with usage instructions and medical contact details. School nurses may only administer the product per the parent's written instructions, and the product must be stored securely when not in use. This directly affects students needing such products, school staff, and parents/guardians who must provide the product and documentation.
