The bill amends Section 80B.13A of the Iowa Code to clarify the grounds for the revocation or suspension of law enforcement officer and reserve peace officer certifications. It specifies that a law enforcement officer or reserve peace officer may have their certification revoked or suspended if they have been discharged for good cause, or if they leave, voluntarily quit, or have their position eliminated while disciplinary action is pending, under circumstances that warrant their discharge or removal for good cause.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new subsection stating that no grounds for revocation actions may be maintained other than those expressly provided in this section. Any pending actions before the council that do not align with these specified grounds will be immediately dismissed. This aims to streamline the process and ensure that revocation actions are based solely on clearly defined criteria.
