SB 933 -- RAILROAD POLICEMEN

SPONSOR:  Scott (Bruns)

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

This bill transfers the duty of appointing railroad policemen
from the Superintendent of the State Highway Patrol to the
Director of the Department of Public Safety.

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

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill is needed to reflect in
the statutes what is currently the practice in Missouri for the
Department of Public Safety to regulate railroad policemen
instead of the State Highway Patrol.

Testifying for the bill was Senator Scott.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
