Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

8 provisions identified: 8 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

New system for Medicaid and SNAP eligibility

The Department of Health and Human Services gets $19,897,695 from the Technology Reinvestment Fund for FY 2026–27. The money designs and builds a new system to decide who qualifies for benefits. It supports Medicaid, SNAP, and other HHS programs. Households may see faster or clearer eligibility decisions when they apply.

Better student data and e-transcripts

The Department of Education gets $600,000 from the Technology Reinvestment Fund for FY 2026–27. The money builds and runs a student data warehouse and adds e-transcripts that follow a student between schools. Teachers, parents, and districts can use these tools to track learning and records.

Funds to maintain Terrace Hill

The Department of Administrative Services gets $1,000,000 from the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund for FY 2026–27. The money pays for maintenance at the state-owned Terrace Hill property.

More money for farm water projects

The law deposits $8,200,000 into the Water Quality Initiative Fund for FY 2026–27. The money funds demonstration projects in designated subwatersheds and watersheds, including high-priority areas. Projects must use approved water quality practices. This helps farmers and local communities where projects are placed.

Prison system technology upgrades funded

The Department of Corrections gets $697,425 from the Technology Reinvestment Fund for FY 2026–27. The money pays for technology projects and upgrades. It improves agency operations but does not change individual legal duties.

Upkeep for statewide education network links

The Department of Education gets $2,727,000 from the Technology Reinvestment Fund for FY 2026–27. The money pays maintenance and lease costs for Part III connections of the Iowa Communications Network. This keeps statewide education and government links running.

More funding for state tech projects

The Technology Reinvestment Fund receives $39,925,002 from the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund for FY 2026–27. The law also sets a recurring $17.5 million general fund transfer each year starting in the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2027. This adds steady funding for state technology projects.

More time to spend project funds

Appropriations in this division stay available longer. Unused money does not revert at year-end; it stays available until the end of the fiscal year two years later, unless the project finishes earlier. One 2023 project fund remains available through December 31, 2026. One 2024 project fund stays available until the close of the fiscal year that ends three years after the original fiscal year, or until the project is done, whichever comes first.
