HSB 122 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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

This bill expands Iowa's Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa (Hawki) program to cover applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for autism spectrum disorder treatment. It prohibits new applications for the autism support program after June 30, 2025, and repeals the program entirely on July 1, 2027. The bill appropriates $750,000 from the autism support fund to maintain Hawki's coverage of ABA services and supplemental dental care for fiscal year 2025-2026. It directly affects Iowa children enrolled in Hawki who require ABA therapy for autism treatment.
