FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Department of Public Safety and the Missouri Sheriffs' Association assume this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.

(10 Mo.)
0 0 0
FISCAL IMPACT - Local Government FY 2000 FY 2001 FY 2002
(10 Mo.)
0 0 0
FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.


DESCRIPTION

This proposal would change the requirements for elected sheriffs. Currently, elected sheriffs and peace officers are exempt from Chapter 590, RSMo, requiring minimum training hours, background check and other requirements of certification by the director of the Department of Public Safety. This proposal would make elected sheriffs and peace officers subject to such certification.

This proposal would also delete sections establishing a training program after election of sheriffs and peace officers as the training would now be required prior to election.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
