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 by officers. 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.

This change aims to ensure that peace officers are not pressured to meet arbitrary quotas for traffic stops, which could lead to biased enforcement practices. By eliminating both citation and stop quotas, the bill seeks to promote fair and just policing practices in Iowa.
