A bill for an act relating to the maximum age of a peace officer for the department of public safety.
This bill amends Iowa law to increase the maximum age for employment as a peace officer in the Department of Public Safety from 65 to 67 years. It directly affects current and future peace officers who reach these ages while serving in the department. The key mechanism is a straightforward change to Section 80.36 of the Iowa Code, updating the age limit without altering other employment requirements. The change applies to all peace officers within the department, not specific roles or exceptions.
