HB 1479 -- Police Officer Residency Requirements

Sponsor:  Icet

This bill prohibits the City of St. Louis and any board or
commission in St. Louis from requiring peace officers to reside
within the city limits; however, the city may require peace
officers to live within the state.

Officers may not be discriminated against based on their place of
residence.  However, political subdivisions may provide
incentives to encourage officers to live within the jurisdiction.
The incentive provisions of the bill will not apply to the use of
department property.
