Iowa HF115 establishes penalties for nonimmigrant visa holders at higher education institutions who support terrorist activities or organizations.

Iowa HF115, known as the Combatting Terrorist Sympathizers Act, mandates that institutions of higher education adopt and enforce a policy prohibiting students, faculty, and staff with nonimmigrant visas from supporting terrorist activities or organizations. The policy requires an investigation upon suspicion of such support, with potential suspension or termination of employment or enrollment. The attorney general enforces the policy, with the ability to compel evidence and seek court action for non-compliance. Institutions found in violation may lose state tuition grant funds.
