This bill amends Section 256.146 of the Iowa Code to modify the requirements for obtaining an activities administration authorization from the board of educational examiners (BOEE). Specifically, it introduces a new subsection that mandates the BOEE to adopt rules establishing this authorization. The key change is that applicants will now be required to hold a baccalaureate degree or higher in any academic field, rather than being restricted to degrees related to athletics, physical education, or a related field.

The bill aims to broaden the eligibility criteria for individuals seeking the activities administration authorization, thereby allowing a wider range of applicants to qualify. This change reflects a shift in focus from specific fields of study to a more inclusive approach, potentially increasing the pool of qualified candidates for roles related to activities administration within educational settings.
