SB 1249 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Allows the Director of Public Safety to deny certain individuals a peace officer license or entry into basic training courses

SB 1249 grants the Director of Public Safety the authority to deny an individual a peace officer license or prevent them from entering basic training courses. This directly affects applicants seeking to become peace officers in the state. The bill's key provision is the Director's discretionary power to deny licensing or training access based on specific criteria outlined in the bill (though the abstract does not specify those criteria). The legislation focuses on establishing this administrative review process for licensing eligibility.
