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 they will have the opportunity to rectify their non-compliance before any further action is taken.

If a valid complaint is determined by the attorney general, and the officer continues to refuse compliance, the case may be referred to the Iowa law enforcement academy council with a recommendation for revocation of the officer's certification. This bill aims to ensure accountability among law enforcement personnel in the enforcement of immigration laws.
