House concurs with Senate amendment on school-discipline bill; bill passes
Summary
The Iowa House concurred with a Senate amendment to Senate File 2428 (a school behavior measure), then placed the bill for final passage; the House later passed the bill after a roll-call vote, 85–11.
The Iowa House agreed to a Senate amendment to Senate File 2428 — a measure addressing school-discipline responsibilities for districts and charter schools — and then approved the bill on final reading.
Representative Wheeler, floor manager for the measure, described changes made in the Senate amendment H8399, saying the Senate removed an IEP front-end reading requirement while retaining a duty for teachers to review proposed changes. "This is our school behavior bill," Wheeler said in brief remarks.
Representative Matson voiced support, noting the House had considered multiple versions of the proposal and urging members to back the amended measure. The House concurred with the Senate amendment and placed the bill for final passage; a roll-call vote recorded 85 in favor and 11 opposed, and the clerk declared the bill passed.
The House completed the title agreement and moved the measure to final processing.
