The bill amends Section 80B.11D, subsection 3 of the Iowa Code, which pertains to the requirements for individuals applying to attend a short course of study at an approved law enforcement training program. Specifically, it removes the stipulation that the required two-year or four-year police science or criminal justice program must be completed at an accredited educational institution located in Iowa. Instead, the bill allows for the program to be completed at any accredited institution approved by the academy, broadening the options available to applicants.

This change aims to enhance accessibility for individuals seeking to enter law enforcement training by permitting them to fulfill educational requirements at accredited institutions outside of Iowa. The overall goal of the bill is to streamline the application process for aspiring law enforcement officers and ensure that they can receive the necessary training regardless of their educational institution's location.
