HF 921 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to administrative investigations under the peace officer, public safety, and emergency personnel bill of rights, civil service disciplinary hearings and appeals, and communications in professional confidence, and including effective date provisions.

HF 921 updates Iowa law governing investigations and disciplinary actions for certified public safety personnel, including law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMTs, and corrections staff. It requires agencies to provide officers with complaint details, witness statements, and complete investigation reports upon request, and establishes a court review process for officers challenging placement on Brady-Giglio lists (which affect officer credibility in court). The bill also clarifies that interviews during investigations are not hearings and adds confidentiality protections for peer support communications during crisis interventions. These changes aim to increase transparency in disciplinary processes while protecting officer rights.
