The Iowa House today passed the 2019 Iowa CARE Act (SF 210) by a vote of 96-3. With the bill unanimously passing the Iowa Senate earlier in the week, the legislation now goes to Gov. Kim Reynold’s desk to be signed into law. The CARE (Caregiver Advise, Record and Enable) Act outlines steps to help Iowa’s more than 317,000 family caregivers when their loved one goes into the hospital and as they transition home, AARP of Iowa said in a release. “Today is a great day for family caregivers across Iowa, and we thank the Iowa House who joins the Iowa Senate in passing this standard of assurance that Iowa family caregivers will be prepared to care for their loved ones in the home following hospitalization,” said AARP Iowa State Director Brad Anderson. Iowa is the 42nd state or territory to have enacted CARE Act type legislation for caregiving families.
