HB 1773 -- COMPENSATION FOR ST. LOUIS POLICE OFFICERS (Shelton)

This bill revises statutes pertaining to compensation and
vacation time for police officers in the City of St. Louis.

From July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2003, the bill increases the
maximum amount of compensation which can be paid to commissioned
police officers based upon rank and length of service as
authorized by the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners.

The bill repeals the provision which authorizes the board to
provide salary increases for commissioned employees with 0-8
years and 9-30 years of experience in excess of the maximum
amounts stated in the bill.

The bill also allows the board to increase the amount of vacation
time granted to members of the St. Louis Police Department.
Members of the police department who have served one year or more
may be granted three weeks of vacation per year with pay; members
with 12 years or more of service may be granted four weeks; and
members with 21 years or more of service may be granted five
weeks.

All members of the police force can receive 15 holidays with pay.
Previously, members of the police force received 14 holidays with
pay.

The bill contains an emergency clause.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.
