A bill for an act relating to fire fighter training and certification.

SF 2028 prohibits individuals currently listed on a sex offender registry from becoming certified firefighters or serving as noncertified or volunteer firefighters in Iowa. The bill requires the Department of Public Safety to revise certification rules by January 1, 2027, to implement this restriction for anyone convicted of an adult crime mandating sex offender registration. It directly affects individuals with active sex offender registry status who seek firefighting roles. The law aims to prevent such individuals from working in firefighting positions, whether certified or volunteer, through updated state certification rules.
