HB 593 -- Peace Officer Residency Requirements

Sponsor:  Portwood

This bill prohibits the Board of Police Commissioners in the City
of St. Louis from requiring peace officers to reside within the
city limits after the person has been employed for four
consecutive years as a peace officer.  The board may require
officers to live within the state and may offer incentives to
encourage them to live within the city, but may not discriminate
against them based on their residency.
