  1  1    Section 1.  Section 341A.7, Code 2007, is amended to read
  1  2 as follows:
  1  3    341A.7  CLASSIFICATIONS.
  1  4    1.  The classified civil service positions covered by this
  1  5 chapter include persons actually serving as deputy sheriffs
  1  6 who are salaried pursuant to section 331.904, subsection 2,
  1  7 but do not include a chief deputy sheriff, two second deputy
  1  8 sheriffs in counties with a population of more than one
  1  9 hundred thousand, three second deputy sheriffs in counties
  1 10 with a population of more than one hundred fifty thousand, and
  1 11 four second deputy sheriffs in counties with a population of
  1 12 more than two hundred thousand.  However, a chief deputy
  1 13 sheriff or second deputy sheriff who becomes a candidate for a
  1 14 partisan elective office for remuneration is subject to
  1 15 section 341A.18.  A deputy sheriff serving with permanent rank
  1 16 under this chapter may be designated chief deputy sheriff or
  1 17 second deputy sheriff and retain that rank during the period
  1 18 of service as chief deputy sheriff or second deputy sheriff
  1 19 and shall, upon termination of the duties as chief deputy
  1 20 sheriff or second deputy sheriff, revert to the permanent
  1 21 rank.
  1 22    2.  If the positions of two second deputy sheriffs of a
  1 23 county were exempt from classified civil service coverage
  1 24 under this chapter based on the 1980 decennial census, the two
  1 25 second deputy positions shall remain exempt from classified
  1 26 civil service coverage under this chapter.
  1 27    Sec. 2.  IMPLEMENTATION OF ACT.  Section 25B.2, subsection
  1 28 3, shall not apply to this Act.
  1 29                           EXPLANATION
  1 30    This bill relates to the classifications of second deputy
  1 31 sheriffs in certain counties.
  1 32    The bill establishes three deputy sheriffs positions
  1 33 classified as second deputy sheriffs in counties with a
  1 34 population of more than 150,000 but not more than 200,000.
  1 35 Under the bill and in current law, second deputy sheriff
  2  1 positions are exempt from classified civil service coverage in
  2  2 Code chapter 341A.
  2  3    Currently, counties with a population of more than 100,000
  2  4 but not more than 200,000 have two sheriff positions
  2  5 classified as second deputy sheriffs.
  2  6    The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code
  2  7 section 25B.3.  The bill makes inapplicable Code section
  2  8 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political
  2  9 subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for
  2 10 the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified.
  2 11 Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with
  2 12 any state mandate included in the bill.
