  2  1                           EXPLANATION
  2  2    This bill amends Code section 80B.11 to require 12 hours of
  2  3 domestic abuse training within the regular curriculum of the
  2  4 law enforcement academy, and four hours per year of mandatory
  2  5 domestic abuse training for continuing education for law
  2  6 enforcement officers.
  2  7    The bill amends Code section 236.12 to provide for the

  2  9 assaults.
  2 10    The bill may include a state mandate as defined in chapter
  2 11 25B.  This bill makes inapplicable section 25B.2, subsection
  2 12 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from complying
  2 13 with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the state
  2 14 mandate is not provided or specified.  Therefore, political
  2 15 subdivisions are required to comply with any state mandate
  2 16 included in this bill.
