On April 20, 2017, Governor Branstad signed the Iowa Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act, which amends Iowa Code chapter 633 and adds a new Iowa Code chapter 638. The Iowa Act is based on the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act.

The Iowa Act was approved unanimously by both legislative chambers during their 2017 session.
