Iowa TCPA and telemarketing law
Iowa has no mini-TCPA of its own. Outbound calling here is governed by the federal TCPA, which sets a floor rather than a ceiling.

Iowa does not currently have its own telemarketing or telephone solicitation statute. Its former law limiting automatic dialing equipment that played prerecorded messages, Iowa Code section 476.57, was repealed in 2018.
Because there is no state statute, Iowa sets no consent standard of its own, creates no state private right of action, and sets no telemarketing-specific penalties. Calls and texts to Iowa residents are governed by the federal TCPA and the federal Telemarketing Sales Rule, and the Iowa Attorney General may bring actions under the federal Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act.
