The bill mandates that all licensed hospitals in Iowa submit their policies regarding nondiscrimination and reproductive health care to the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing (DIAL) by September 1, 2025. Reproductive health care is defined within the bill to encompass a range of services, including neonatal care, family planning, and various forms of contraception and maternal care. Additionally, hospitals that provide labor and delivery services must also submit policies related to best practices and safety bundles as recommended by relevant medical organizations.

Furthermore, DIAL is required to post these submitted policies on its website and create an interactive online tool for public comparison of the policies. Hospitals are also obligated to update DIAL within 30 days if they alter any of the specified policies and must ensure that their most recent policies are easily accessible on their own websites without any login requirements. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and public access to important hospital policies related to patient care and rights.
