DES MOINES – Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a long list of bills into law on Monday, June 1, 2026, one day before the deadline for her to take final action on remaining legislation from the 2026 session.
The bills cover a wide range of issues, including internet age verification for pornographic material, civics education, nuclear energy, speed limits, school discipline, agriculture, utilities, oil and gas production, ethanol taxes and a new specialty business court.
One of the highest-profile measures, HF 864, requires certain websites, applications or sections of websites and apps containing material pornographic for minors to perform reasonable age verification.
Reynolds also signed HF 2231, creating a seal of civics excellence program through the Iowa Department of Education to recognize student achievement in civics.
Energy and agriculture were also part of the bill-signing list. HF 2757 creates sales and use tax exemptions and refunds related to nuclear electric generation facilities and provides funding to the Iowa Board of Regents for a nuclear energy workforce program. SF 2465 makes a broad set of changes involving the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, commodities, transportation of agricultural items, agricultural land, sales and use taxes, veterinary practice and income taxes.
Education-related bills included SF 2428, which deals with school discipline, disruptive student behavior, individualized education programs, Section 504 plans and teacher requests for meetings of a student’s IEP team. Reynolds also signed SF 2086, allowing schools to offer an elective junior firefighter program for students in grades 11 and 12.
Another education measure, SF 2474, modifies provisions related to the Iowa dyslexia board and requires the Department of Education to prepare a report related to cardiac emergency response plans and automated external defibrillators.
