What’s in it
The Iowa municipal tort claims Act provides that every municipality is subject to liability for its torts and those of its officers and employees, acting within the scope of their employment or duties, whether arising out of a governmental or proprietary function. “Municipality” is defined as a city, township, school district, a Code chapter 28E entity “p”, and any other unit of local government except a soil and water conservation district. This bill provides that a person cannot bring a claim arising out of an act or omission of an employee of a municipality in the execution or enforcement of any law against an employee of the municipality in the employee’s personal capacity unless the employee’s act constitutes willful and wanton misconduct.
