A bill for an act relating to the revocation or suspension of law enforcement officer certification.
This bill (HSB 264) clarifies the circumstances under which Iowa's law enforcement officer certification may be revoked or suspended. It specifically allows revocation only if an officer was discharged for "good cause" from employment, or if they voluntarily quit/their position was eliminated while disciplinary action was pending (with circumstances warranting discharge). The bill also prohibits the certification council from using any grounds for revocation beyond these two specified situations, requiring dismissal of all pending cases based on other grounds. This directly affects law enforcement officers, reserve peace officers, and the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy Council.
