Iowa SSB3113 allows cities to contract with counties for law enforcement services and requires cost comparisons.

Iowa SSB3113 amends existing law to allow two or more cities to enter into agreements with counties to provide law enforcement or administrative services. The bill mandates that cities with a police department and a population of 6,000 or less submit a cost comparison report to the Department of Management by December 31, 2026, and each year following a federal decennial census. The report must compare the costs of maintaining a police department, contracting with another city, and contracting with the county.
