A bill for an act requiring reporting by regents institutions of funding from certain foreign sources and including effective date provisions.
This bill requires Iowa's public universities (regents institutions) to annually report funding over $50,000 from foreign sources, including foreign governments, entities, or individuals not U.S. citizens. Institutions must disclose the amount, purpose, type of funding, details of the foreign source, and associated contracts, then post this report online by January 15 each year. The reports become public records and must be updated regularly, with enforcement possible through a court order if institutions fail to comply. It excludes tuition payments from foreign students. The requirement takes effect January 1, 2026.
