State safety officials push changes in Towa court system
Public Safety Commissioner Michael Sellers outlined a major priority to streamline Iowa's court system during the current session. The plan, backed by Iowa Highway Patrol Chief Howard Miller, would unify municipal and district courts, keep patrol court access around the clock, adjust fines, speed up abandoned car disposal, and add safety mandates for motorcyclists along with a five year minimum penalty for assault on a peace officer and a drunk driving rehabilitation program.
