IA HSB547

Requires Iowa regents universities to accept the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as an additional standardized test option alongside the ACT and SAT for calculating the Regent Admission Index (RAI) score, effective prior to the 2026-2027 academic year.

Mandates the State Board of Regents develop and adopt a policy by December 31, 2026, ensuring that only merit and likelihood of employment in Iowa after graduation are considered for admission decisions for students who do not qualify under the RAI.

The Regent Admission Index combines ACT/SAT scores, high school cumulative GPA, and number of completed core courses to predict student success at regents universities.

Applies to students seeking admission to Iowa's three regents universities who do not meet automatic admission standards through the RAI formula.
