This bill amends the Code of Iowa to establish specific procedures for the discharge of county and city executives, including county managers and city managers. It stipulates that a board of supervisors or a city council can only terminate these positions through the adoption of a motion or resolution that receives a majority vote from the respective board or council. This requirement applies regardless of the title used for the position, ensuring consistency in the process of termination for these roles.

The bill also includes provisions regarding its effective date and applicability. It is deemed to take effect immediately upon enactment and applies to new employment contracts and the renewal of existing contracts for the specified positions entered into on or after the effective date. This legislative change aims to provide a clear and standardized approach to the employment practices concerning county and city executives in Iowa.
