A bill for an act relating to voting membership on joint 911 service boards.
SF 271 changes Iowa's rules for voting rights on county 911 service boards. Currently, any local government with emergency services in a county (even if outside the county) gets voting membership. This bill requires such groups to be physically located within the county to vote; otherwise, they’d only have nonvoting status. It directly affects cities, townships, or contractors providing emergency services across county lines. The change aligns voting rights with geographic jurisdiction for 911 service boards.
