What’s in it
AI summary Under current law, local government agencies cannot force police officers to issue a certain number of tickets. This new law expands that rule so agencies also cannot set quotas for how many traffic stops an officer must make.1
Read the official explanation
Current law prohibits a political subdivision or agency of Iowa that employs peace officers from imposing a quota on the number of citations issued by the officers. This bill also prohibits imposing a quota for the number of stops of persons committing alleged traffic violations, regardless of whether a citation or memorandum is issued.
