education Bill to create school threat assessment teams advances in Iowa 2025-01-29
Iowa school systems would have the authority to create assessment teams to improve student information sharing and collaboration when a student exhibits behavior that might threaten school safety under a bill advanced Tuesday. House Study Bill 47 would allow collaboration between schools and government agencies to provide services to students enrolled in grades from kindergarten to 12th grade who are 'experiencing or at risk of an emotional disturbance or mental illness, or who pose an articulable and significant threat to the health and safety of any person.' The bill would authorize school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, charter schools and innovation zone schools to create these threat assessment teams.

crime Iowa lawmakers shelve bill allowing surgical castration for sex crimes 2025-01-28
Iowa lawmakers on Tuesday shelved a bill that would allow surgical castration to be imposed as a punishment for certain sex crimes committed against children. The bill is similar to a law passed in Louisiana, which last year became the first U.S. state to permit judges to order surgical castration of sex offenders. Criminal defense lawyers, civil rights advocates and medical experts have raised serious concerns around the ethics and constitutionality of the law. Victims rights advocates have also questioned whether such punishment would actually make a difference in reducing sex crimes. The three-member subcommittee voted to defer the bill.
