DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court has issued orders to change the way the state court system conducts security assessments after two cybersecurity workers hired by state court administrators were arrested for breaking into the Dallas County Courthouse last month.

Court administrators also must confer with local officials.

CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Kim Reynolds is backing the new leader of Iowa’s human resources agency, saying he made an honest error when he misstated what his department does on his résumé. Reynolds told reporters that “people make mistakes,” and that Department of Administrative Services Director Jim Kurtenbach was human. Reynolds appointed Kurtenbach in June to lead the department that manages human resources, buildings and other functions for the executive branch.
