Missouri Sheriffs Association officials stated this proposal would have no fiscal impact to Missouri Sheriffs. St. Louis City Officials stated that by prohibiting residency requirements for peace officers would cause the city to lose property taxes, sales taxes and other miscellaneous taxes. Officials did not estimate the amount of loss. Oversight assumes that this proposal would not cause all of the city's police officers to move from the city, therefore, any loss of sales or other tax would be minimal.
Oversight assumes no local fiscal impact.
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal. This bill prohibits any city, town, village, or county from requiring residency as a term of employment for holding the position of peace officer. The bill also prohibits discrimination in any manner against such person because of residency.
