The bill proposes a series of amendments to the Iowa Code aimed at improving clarity, consistency, and accuracy in legal language. Key changes include the clarification that "gender" refers specifically to biological sex, requiring state departments to identify individuals' sex as either male or female for vital statistics. The bill also modifies references from "legislature" to "general assembly" in multiple sections, ensuring uniform terminology. Additionally, it addresses various statutory corrections, such as grammatical improvements and the removal of obsolete provisions, to streamline the legal framework.

Furthermore, the bill establishes new funds to support educational programs, including the future ready Iowa skilled workforce last-dollar scholarship fund and the Iowa workforce grant and incentive program fund, ensuring that unspent balances do not revert to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. It also clarifies definitions related to private instruction and updates tax provisions, including investment tax credits. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining funds for educational purposes and outlines procedures for health benefit plans, ultimately aiming to enhance the effectiveness of Iowa's educational and regulatory systems.
