The bill amends Section 321.492A of the Iowa Code to expand the prohibition on quotas related to traffic enforcement by peace officers. Previously, the law only prohibited political subdivisions or agencies from imposing quotas on the number of citations issued. The new language explicitly prohibits these entities from mandating or suggesting that peace officers stop a certain number of individuals for alleged traffic violations, in addition to issuing a specific number of citations or memorandums related to traffic violations or faulty equipment.

This change aims to ensure that peace officers can perform their duties without the pressure of meeting quotas for traffic stops or citations, thereby promoting fair and unbiased law enforcement practices. The bill reflects a commitment to uphold the integrity of traffic enforcement by removing any potential for quotas that could influence officers' actions on the road.
