HB 1376 -- Investigators of the Criminal Investigation Bureau

Sponsor:  Pollock

This bill allows criminal investigators of the Criminal
Investigation Bureau within the Department of Revenue to be
appointed by the department director as peace officers and to
carry firearms at all times.  A minimum of 16 hours of firearms
safety training will be required.  Once the investigator has a
valid peace officer license and takes an oath of service, he or
she will receive a certificate of appointment and be granted
police powers to enforce Missouri's laws while investigating
matters pertaining to state income tax, estate tax, motor vehicle
driver's license tax, motor vehicle registration fees, motor
vehicle fuel tax, sales and use tax, and all other taxes
administered by the department director and the licensure of any
persons or businesses for which the department director issues
licenses.  Investigators will have the full power and authority
of a peace officer when working with and at the special request
of a county sheriff, city chief of police, or the Superintendent
of the State Highway Patrol or his or her designee.
