The bill establishes new provisions regarding the enforcement of immigration laws by law enforcement officers in Iowa. It introduces a new section, 27A.12, which outlines the consequences for officers, including elected sheriffs, who knowingly and intentionally fail to comply with the requirements set forth in the chapter. Such officers will be subject to investigation by the attorney general, and if a valid complaint is determined, they will have the opportunity to comply with the requirements.

If the officer continues to refuse compliance after the investigation, their case may be referred to the Iowa law enforcement academy council with a recommendation for revocation of their certification. This bill aims to ensure that law enforcement officers adhere to immigration law enforcement requirements and establishes a clear process for accountability.
