What’s in it
AI summary The Iowa law enforcement academy council would change who gets to sit on its board. Instead of using population sizes of 50,000 to pick city police officers, the new rules would use populations of 25,000 and 5,000. Additionally, people would not be allowed to serve more than two terms in a row.1
