A bill for an act relating to the Iowa law enforcement academy council including the revocation or suspension of certifications of law enforcement officers and reserve peace officers, and administrative investigations under the peace officer, public safety, and emergency personnel bill of rights, and including effective date and retroactive applicability provisions.

This bill updates Iowa's law enforcement certification standards and complaint procedures. It directly affects active law enforcement officers and reserve peace officers by expanding the grounds for certification revocation or suspension (including convictions for sex offenses, domestic violence, false testimony, or refusal to complete required training) and strengthening the council's role in reviewing complaints about agency training. The law requires police departments to notify the council within 10 days of officer terminations or resignations related to pending misconduct investigations, and grants the council authority to order remedial training or take disciplinary action. Key mechanisms include new administrative review processes for certification issues and updated definitions for "final" employment decisions.
