SF 202 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to ensuring the provision of accessible prescription-related measures for persons who are blind, have a visual impairment, or otherwise have print disabilities.

SF 202 requires Iowa's pharmacy board to adopt rules by October 31, 2025, ensuring people who are blind, visually impaired, or have print disabilities receive accessible prescription labels, bag tags, and medical guides at no extra cost. These materials must be provided in fully accessible formats (like audio) within the same timeframe as standard labels for other patients. The rules must align with federal accessibility guidelines from a 2016 government report and include public notice about available formats. The board must report progress, recommendations, and projected costs for implementing these changes to Iowa's governor and legislature by January 1, 2026.
