The bill proposes a series of amendments to the Iowa Code aimed at updating language, correcting grammatical errors, and resolving inconsistencies. A significant change includes the clarification that "gender" specifically refers to biological sex, rather than gender identity or expression, and mandates that state departments collect vital statistics based on individuals' sex as either male or female. The bill also replaces references to the "legislature" with "general assembly" in multiple sections to ensure consistent terminology. Additionally, it introduces new definitions related to natural hazard mitigation and clarifies the roles of health care facilities regarding the management of residents' personal property.

Further amendments focus on educational funding and services, establishing separate funds for various scholarship and grant programs, such as the Future Ready Iowa Skilled Workforce Last-Dollar Scholarship Fund. The bill modifies language to enhance clarity, including changes to the definition of "private instruction" and updates to investment tax credits. It also addresses the administration of special education services and the requirements for teacher evaluations. Overall, the bill aims to streamline legal language, improve clarity, and enhance the administration of educational and agricultural programs in Iowa.
