HSB 84 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act prohibiting school districts, charter schools, and innovation zone schools from providing any program, curriculum, test, survey, questionnaire, promotion, or instruction relating to gender identity or sexual orientation to students in grades seven through twelve.

HSB 84 prohibits Iowa public school districts, charter schools, and innovation zone schools from providing any instruction, curriculum, test, survey, or program related to gender identity or sexual orientation to students in grades seven through twelve. This bill extends an existing ban (previously limited to kindergarten through grade six) to cover all middle and high school students. The key provision explicitly bans all educational materials or activities addressing these topics in the specified grades, without requiring alternative content. The bill applies directly to all public schools in Iowa serving grades 7-12.
