Bill to arm school staff heads to Reynolds
Reynolds will sign HF 2586 allowing trained staff to carry concealed weapons on school grounds. The bill requires large districts to employ a school resource officer or armed security in each high school unless opted out, while smaller districts are urged to do so. It provides immunity for districts and staff for reasonable force outcomes.

Iowa eyes broad traffic camera bill with strong bipartisan support
The bipartisan push for a statewide automated traffic camera bill gains momentum in Iowa. The Legislative Services Agency reports 25 cities used cameras in 2023, Cedar Rapids operated 19 cameras with 170000 citations and 7.2 million dollars in revenue, and six cities sent camera revenue to general funds while enforcement remains under state review. The bill requires DOT permits, limits citations, and directs post installation funds to transportation, police, and fire operations. Local governments with mobile cameras may issue only warnings.
