Iowa nickname permission paperwork

[KentuckyWoman]

13. My niece got one of these emails.

She lives in Davenport area. Her son is Christopher, the third, named after Dad and Grandpa. He goes by Cass. I gather the school has a file where parents have to put any nicknames, gender etc for the school admin and teachers. If it's missing, they get a letter.

Her email includes something along the lines of "SF 496, signed by Republican Governor Kimberly Kay Reynolds on May 26, 2023"

Seems like this is partly legal cover for the school but also an in your face about where this absurdity came from.
