Modifies provisions relating to the sheriff of the City of St. Louis

HB 1861 modifies Missouri law specifically for the sheriff of the City of St. Louis by replacing sections 57.010 and 57.530 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo). The bill requires the St. Louis sheriff to hold a valid peace officer license (with limited exceptions) and mandates that deputies receive a minimum annual salary of $50,000. It also requires the sheriff to obtain circuit court judge approval before appointing deputies and sets salary limits based on the City of St. Louis Board of Aldermen's approved rates. This bill directly affects the St. Louis sheriff’s office and its deputy employees.
