HCS SB 770 -- COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT RESTITUTION FUND

SPONSOR:  Mayer (Lipke)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Committee on Crime
Prevention and Public Safety by a vote of 11 to 0.

This substitute specifies that no current or former elected
officials will be appointed to the board of trustees supervising
a county law enforcement restitution fund.  The substitute also
adds any moving violation, as defined by Section 302.010, RSMo,
to the list of infractions for which a court may order payment to
a county law enforcement restitution fund.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and
FY 2009.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill will allow a court to
order a defendant to pay into a restitution fund when he or she
receives a moving violation and will revise the laws to prohibit
current officials from serving on a board supervising a county
restitution fund.

Testifying for the bill were Senator Mayer; and Missouri
Sheriffs' Association.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
