A bill for an act concerning the salaries of county deputy sheriffs, assistant county attorneys, and other county deputy officers.
HF 492 amends Iowa law to increase salary caps for certain county employees. It removes the previous 85% salary limit, setting new caps at 100% of the principal officer's salary for county deputy sheriffs, assistant county attorneys (in all counties, not just smaller ones), and other county deputy officers like election or motor vehicle division deputies. The bill requires county officials to certify deputy salaries to the board, ensuring they don't exceed these new limits. This directly affects county deputy sheriffs, assistant county attorneys, and other county deputy officers whose pay was previously restricted to 85% of their supervisor's salary.
