The House of Representatives introduced several bills and placed their first readings on House calendars during a brief session.

The most substantive measure announced was House file 9 72, presented by the committee on appropriation. The bill, described in the introduction, would address multiple health-care topics including a funding model for the rural health-care system, elimination of several health-care awards, grants, residency and fellowship programs, establishment of a health-care professional incentive program, Medicaid graduate medical education, the Health Facility Council, and the Iowa Health Information Network; the introduction text also said the measure makes appropriations and includes an effective date provision. The bill was given its first reading and was placed on the appropriations calendar for further consideration.

Two other bills were introduced by the committee on ways and means. One, identified in the transcript as House file 9 37, was described as relating to property law and referencing manufactured or mobile-home realtor licenses, rental agreements and notice requirements, and possession of property; that bill was given its first reading and placed on the ways and means calendar. Another, identified as House file 9 74, was described as relating to vehicle registration plates, including registration plate frames and accident flags, special registration plates and related fees, and making appropriations; it received its first reading and was placed on the ways and means calendar.

A prior short introductory item (transcript line recorded as House file 9 71 by committee on appropriation) was read but the introduction text in the transcript was incomplete and provided no substantive description; that item was similarly placed on the appropriations calendar. Where the transcript did not supply full details for an introduced bill, the article notes that specifics were not specified in the recorded introduction.

Representative Harris of Avenue offered the opening prayer and led the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the session. Representative Dunwell of Jasper moved to adjourn, saying, “I move that the house adjourn until Monday, 03/24/2025 at 01:00PM.” The motion was decided by voice vote; the transcript records the chair declaring, “The ayes do have it,” and the House adjourned.

Next steps for the introduced measures are the usual committee and calendar processes: bills placed on the appropriations calendar are scheduled for committee or floor consideration by that committee/calendar process, and bills on the ways and means calendar await consideration by that committee/calendar schedule.
