Partial victory for punitive damages bill in Iowa Senate panel
The Senate Judiciary Committee adopted a measure allowing public agencies to insure employees against punitive damages while keeping recklessness as a liability factor for public employees. Cedar Rapids officials call it a partial win, as lawmakers resist removing recklessness from the law. Critics warn removing it could erase accountability for police and firefighters acting in the line of duty. A Prairieburg incident recalls a half‑million judgment against Linn County deputies under review.
