Today, Governor Kim Reynolds signed HF 1002, a bill permitting cities to establish a length of service award program for volunteer first responders.  
¢â‚¬Å“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, ¢â‚¬ � Gov. Reynolds said. ¢â‚¬Å“These everyday heroes are pillars of Iowa communities, and it is vital that we honor their service and reward their dedication. I ¢â‚¬â„¢m thankful to our legislators and key stakeholders for getting this bill across the finish line. ¢â‚¬ �
