HF 472 – Teacher forgivable loan program modification

FLOOR ACTION:

HF 472 clarifies that it was the Legislature’s intent to prevent someone from receiving assistance from the Teach Iowa Scholar program and the Teacher Shortage Loan Forgiveness Program at the same time. A floor amendment was adopted grandfathering in the eight teachers that are currently receiving benefits from both programs and made the bill effective upon enactment.
