The Iowa Legislature has passed a sweeping education bill that limits instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation, removes school books depicting sex acts and explicitly states that parents have a "constitutionally protected right" to make decisions for their children.
The wide-ranging Senate File 496 had bounced between chambers as the House and Senate took turns rewriting the legislation. Sen. Ken Rozenboom, chair of the Senate Education Committee, said the final bill is "a good-faith effort to reflect the will of both chambers."
It now goes to Gov. Kim Reynolds for her signature.
