A bill for an act requiring students to pass the United States citizenship and immigration services naturalization civics test as a condition of high school graduation and high school equivalency diplomas.(See HF 165.)

House Study Bill 30 (HSB30) was a legislative proposal in Iowa that aimed to require high school students to pass the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) naturalization civics test as a prerequisite for graduation and obtaining high school equivalency diplomas. The bill was introduced on January 15, 2025, and was later renumbered as House File 165 (HF165). On April 17, 2025, HF165 was withdrawn and replaced by Senate File 369 (SF369).

Supporters of HSB30 argued that implementing the USCIS naturalization civics test as a graduation requirement would enhance students' understanding of U.S. government and history, thereby fostering informed and engaged citizens. They believed that this measure would standardize civics education across the state and ensure that all graduates possess a fundamental knowledge of civic principles.

Critics of HSB30 contended that mandating the USCIS naturalization civics test could place undue pressure on students and educators, potentially leading to a narrowed curriculum focused on test preparation rather than comprehensive civics education. They also expressed concerns about the fairness of imposing such a requirement, particularly for students with diverse learning needs or those facing language barriers.
