AI summary This law makes the rules for Department of Transportation employees who act as peace officers permanent. Previously, these rules were set to expire on a certain date, but this change removes that expiration.1

Read the official explanation

In 2017, the general assembly amended Code section 321.477 to specify the powers, duties, and limitations of employees of the department of transportation (DOT) who are designated as peace officers by the DOT. Under the terms of the legislation, the amended language was set to be repealed effective July 1, 2018. In 2018, the general assembly extended the future repeal provision to July 1, 2019, and in 2019, the general assembly again extended the future repeal provision to July 1, 2022. This bill repeals the future repeal provision, thereby making the specified powers, duties, and limitations of DOT employees who are designated as peace officers permanent. The bill takes effect upon enactment.

Changed since by amendment S-5144; see Amendments.
