A bill for an act relating to law enforcement training concerning motorcyclist profiling.
This bill requires all Iowa law enforcement officers to complete training on eliminating "motorcyclist profiling" as part of their basic and in-service training. It defines motorcyclist profiling as targeting people solely because they ride motorcycles or wear related gear (without legal basis), and mandates local agencies to add policies condemning this practice. The law also requires annual reports to the legislature about training hours and content related to this topic. The bill directly affects all Iowa law enforcement officers and their agencies, focusing on changing training requirements and policies.
