Iowa SSB1073 amends laws regarding city council members serving as volunteer fire department chiefs and managing funds for emergency services.

Iowa SSB1073 modifies existing laws to allow a city council member to serve as the chief of a volunteer fire department during their term, provided they abstain from voting on their own appointment. It also mandates that funds from settlements for damaged emergency services equipment be deposited into a specific fund rather than the city's general fund. If a city uses its general fund to cover such costs, it can deposit the settlement amount back into the general fund, with any remaining funds going into the relevant account.
