College Affordability Act regulates tuition increases, mandates three-year degree programs, and establishes work-study options for in-state students.

The College Affordability Act addresses tuition, degree programs, and employment for in-state students at Iowa's regents institutions. It mandates that tuition for in-state students remains unchanged from their first academic year. The bill requires institutions to offer at least one baccalaureate degree program that can be completed in three years by 2027. Additionally, it establishes a work-study program where employers pay students' tuition and fees during employment semesters. The state board of regents must make final tuition decisions by December 31 of the previous fiscal year.
