Requires peace officers to be legally authorized to work in the United States under federal law

HB 1371 requires all licensed peace officers in Missouri to be legally authorized to work in the United States under federal law as a condition of maintaining their license. This directly affects current and future peace officers seeking or renewing their state-issued licenses. The bill amends licensing standards to add this federal work authorization requirement as a mandatory condition alongside existing rules for education, background checks, and continuing training. It does not change background check procedures but explicitly adds federal work authorization as a new licensing requirement.
