Modifies provisions relating to the sheriff of the City of St. Louis
This bill modifies Missouri's sheriff election rules, requiring candidates for most county sheriff positions to hold a valid peace officer license (with an exception for the sheriff of St. Louis City, which is not within a county). It also sets a $50,000 minimum annual salary for sheriff's deputies, with the sheriff able to set higher pay but not exceeding the rate set by St. Louis City's board of aldermen. The bill affects candidates running for sheriff in most Missouri counties and the St. Louis City sheriff's office, while maintaining existing requirements like residency and felony conviction disqualifications.
