Today, Governor Kim Reynolds issued the following statement after the Iowa House and Senate passed House File 2676, Iowa’s MAHA bill:
“I’m grateful to the House and Senate for passing Iowa’s MAHA bill which takes common sense steps to improve health and well-being for Iowans of all ages,” Governor Reynolds said. “Food assistance programs will now emphasize nutrition. School lunches will eliminate certain unhealthy dyes and additives. Doctors will benefit from evidence-based nutrition courses and, in turn, support better patient education, engagement, and healthier outcomes. And we’ll increase access to behavioral health care by allowing psychologists licensed in other states to practice in Iowa.”
