Iowa HSB668 modifies state policies and programs to eliminate race, gender, and citizenship requirements.

Iowa HSB668 removes provisions that previously mandated race, gender, or citizenship requirements for state policies, programs, and licenses. The bill eliminates specific affirmative action programs, including the academic incentives for minorities program, the minority and women educators enhancement program, and the college-bound program. It also removes provisions that limited the Iowa minority academic grants for economic success program to minorities and strikes the goal of recruiting and retaining women and minorities in math and science education.
