Gov. Reynolds Signs LOSAP Bill to Support Volunteer First Responders

On June 3, 2025, Governor Kim Reynolds signed HF 1002, a bill permitting cities to establish a length of service award program for volunteer first responders.  

“Iowans have relied on volunteer first responders for over a century, dating all the way back to our pioneer past. Today, countless communities still depend on their service and self-sacrifice in the case of unexpected emergencies,” Gov. Reynolds said. “These everyday heroes are pillars of Iowa communities, and it is vital that we honor their service and reward their dedication. I’m thankful to our legislators and key stakeholders for getting this bill across the finish line.”
