A bill for an act relating to the peace officer, public safety, and emergency personnel bill of rights.

SF 2194 amends Iowa law to strengthen procedural protections for peace officers, firefighters, EMTs, and other public safety personnel during disciplinary investigations. The bill requires agencies to provide officers with written complaint summaries and access to relevant evidence (like incident reports and recordings) before interviews, allows officers to have legal counsel or union representatives present during investigations, and mandates audio recording of all investigative interviews. It also prohibits using statements obtained in violation of these procedures against officers for disciplinary action. The bill directly affects certified public safety personnel facing formal administrative investigations across Iowa.
