This bill establishes a Parkinson's Disease Prevention, Research, and Care (PDPRC) fund under the control of the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The fund will consist of appropriated moneys and is intended to support various initiatives, including awarding grants to public and private entities for research on Parkinson's disease and related disorders, as well as providing support for caregivers. The bill also mandates the development, implementation, and periodic revision of a state plan focused on neurodegenerative diseases, with an emphasis on Parkinson's disease.

Additionally, the bill requires the establishment of a neurodegenerative disease advisory council to guide HHS on grant applications and the state plan. Grant recipients must submit annual reports detailing their progress, while HHS is tasked with reporting to the governor and the general assembly. The initial state plan must be published by October 1, 2027, following a public comment period. The bill appropriates $3 million from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 to support these initiatives and takes effect on October 1, 2026.
