Iowa

SUNucate

Current Status: Not Enacted

Current Law

No SUNucate legislation has been enacted.

Comparison to the SUNucate

Iowa has not adopted the major components of the SUNucate model legislation. The state remains an opportunity state for comprehensive school and youth camp sunscreen access protections.

Opportunities for Improvement

Adopt the full model bill, including student possession and self-application of sunscreen; staff assistance with parental permission; youth camp protections; sun-protective clothing; sun-safe education; and a sunscreen sales-tax exemption.

Medical Spa Safety Act

Current Law

Iowa does not have any state laws regulating medical spas.

Opportunities for Improvement

Iowa would greatly benefit from enacting the Medical Spa Safety Act, which would regulate medical spas and keep medical procedures under the oversight of physicians, along with requiring medical directors to have training on all procedures being performed. The model bill also includes additional staff education requirements, notification to the public if a physician is not on-site and options for mandatory adverse event reporting.
