A bill for an act relating to student dress code policies of public schools, charter schools, and innovation school zones, and including applicability provisions.

This bill requires all Iowa public schools, charter schools, and innovation school zones to adopt standardized dress code policies for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The policies must mandate clean, presentable attire that promotes hygiene and modesty, prohibits clothing with illegal activity promotion or excessive exposure (like midriffs), and requires footwear. Schools must also ban disruptive or gang-related attire, apply rules uniformly without discrimination, provide accommodations for religious/medical needs, and clearly communicate policies to students and parents annually. The requirements take effect for the 2026-2027 school year.
