SB 1014 - The act prohibits the City of St. Louis and any board or commissions in St. Louis from requiring peace officers to reside within the limits of the city after they have been employed for four consecutive years, however, the city may require peace officers to live within the state. The calculation of the length of employment begins from the date of appointment. Peace officers who work less than eight hours per day and those who are full-time employees are subject to this act.
The act prohibits discrimination against peace officers
based on their place of residence after they have been
employed for four consecutive years. However, political
subdivisions may provide incentives to encourage officers to
live within the jurisdiction. The provisions of the act shall
not apply to the use of department property.
