AN ACT
To repeal section 84.030, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to the St. Louis board of police commissioners.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 84.030, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 84.030, to read as follows:
84.030. Beginning on January 9, 1989, the governor of the state of Missouri, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, shall appoint the four commissioners provided for in section 84.020, and one commissioner shall be appointed for a term of one year; one commissioner shall be appointed for a term of two years; one commissioner shall be appointed for a term of three years; one commissioner shall be appointed for a term of four years. Their successors shall each be appointed by the governor up until the effective date of this section for a term of four years, and said commissioners shall hold office for their term of appointment and until their successors shall have been appointed and qualified. Beginning on the effective date of this section in any city not within a county their successors shall each be appointed by the mayor of St. Louis with the approval of the city's governing body, for a term of four years, and said commissioners shall hold office for their term of appointment and until their successors shall have been appointed and qualified. In case of a vacancy in said board for any cause whatsoever, it shall be filled by appointment for the unexpired term[, in the same manner as in the case of original appointments] by the governor up until the effective date of this section and by the mayor of St. Louis beginning on the effective date of this section. The governor, for appointments made up until the effective date of this section, and the mayor of St. Louis, beginning on the effective date of this section shall issue commissions to the persons so appointed, designating the time for which they are appointed in case the appointment is to fill an unexpired term occasioned by death, resignation or any other cause[, and]. Whenever the term of office of any commissioner expires, the appointment of his or her successor shall be for four years. The commissioners now holding offices under existing laws in any city of this state to which sections 84.010 to 84.340 apply are to hold their offices until the expiration of their terms, and their successors are duly appointed and qualified.
