This bill modifies the Iowa tuition grants program by amending various sections of the Iowa Code related to higher education institutions and their accreditation. It specifically updates definitions and provisions concerning postsecondary institutions under the control of the state board of regents and accredited private institutions. Notably, the bill includes several insertions of the term "Code 2026" to clarify references to the Iowa Code throughout the amended sections.

Additionally, the bill repeals provisions related to the traditional Iowa tuition grants component and the Iowa tuition grants for-profit institutions component, effectively eliminating these programs. Any unencumbered or unobligated funds from these components will be transferred to the general fund upon the bill's enactment. The bill also includes conforming changes to ensure consistency across the amended sections and is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
