Bill > SSB1007

This Study Bill amends Iowa law to allow county attorneys and assistant county attorneys to obtain a professional permit to carry weapons, similar to how peace officers and correctional officers can. This permit would authorize them to carry a weapon anywhere in the state at all times, including on school grounds, and would remain valid throughout their period of employment unless otherwise canceled, with the understanding that the permit must be surrendered if their employment ends. The bill clarifies that while these legal professionals are eligible for such permits, they are not required to obtain one as a condition of their employment.
