This bill amends the membership requirements for the Iowa law enforcement academy council. It specifies that one member must be a resident of the state who has not been employed as a certified law enforcement officer, replacing the previous requirement of three residents. Additionally, the bill adjusts the population thresholds for police officers serving on the council, changing the requirement from a city population of 50,000 or more to 25,000 or more for one member, and from 50,000 or less to 5,000 or less for another member.

Furthermore, the bill introduces two new categories of members: one must be a member of the Iowa fraternal order of police, and the other must be a police officer employed by a regents institution. It also establishes a term limit, stating that no person shall be eligible to serve on the council for more than two consecutive terms. These changes aim to diversify the council's membership and ensure a rotation of service among its members.
