This bill appropriates $2.5 million from the general fund of the state of Iowa to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for the fiscal year 2024-2025. The funds are designated for distribution to nonprofit resettlement agencies that are part of the reception and placement assistance program in cooperation with the United States Department of State. The purpose of this funding is to assist these agencies in providing resettlement support to refugees in Iowa.

HHS is required to distribute the appropriated funds proportionally to each nonprofit agency based on the number of refugees they sponsor under their cooperative agreement with the federal government. The bill mandates that the distribution of funds occur no later than seven calendar days after the bill's enactment, which is deemed to be of immediate importance and takes effect upon enactment.
