SSB 3008 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to public safety answering points, including limitations, property tax allocation, service requirements, management, consolidation, transfer of duties from joint 911 service boards to local emergency management commissions, and reporting requirements, and including transfer and effective date provisions.

This bill restructures 911 service management in Iowa by transferring duties from joint 911 service boards to local emergency management commissions. It requires these commissions to submit annual infrastructure plans and detailed inventories of personnel, equipment, and facilities to the state department. The bill limits counties to one primary 911 call center (with limited exceptions), mandates cost-sharing between agencies for cross-jurisdictional calls, and requires security compliance for access to criminal justice databases. These changes aim to standardize operations, reduce duplication, and improve accountability for 911 services across public safety agencies.
