Iowa House lawmakers approved a wide-ranging "make America healthy again" bill from Gov. Kim Reynolds that would codify limits on which foods Iowans can buy with state food assistance dollars, ban some food dyes from school meals and allow over-the-counter ivermectin.
Lawmakers voted 65-30 to pass the bill, House File 2676, on March 3, sending it to the Iowa Senate. One Republican, Rep. Matthew Rinker, R-Burlington, joined every Democrat in voting no.
House Republicans amended the bill to include their priorities, including requiring young students get more physical activity and limit in-class screen time and to require school lunches to promote Iowa-based protein.
