The Missouri Municipal League stated they expected no fiscal impact to 4th class cities. Oversight assumes this proposal is permissive and provides an option to 4th class cities when hiring a Chief of Police.
Oversight assumes no state or local fiscal impact.
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected. This bill allows the board of aldermen in a fourth class city to appoint a chief of police. Under current law, the position of chief of police must first be approved by a majority of the voters. This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
