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

HB 1476 modifies eligibility requirements for the St. Louis sheriff position. It requires all candidates to hold a valid peace officer license at the time of filing for office, with an exception for certain large counties or cities with charters. This bill directly affects individuals seeking the St. Louis sheriff position by adding a licensing prerequisite. The bill does not change existing provisions about the sheriff's authority to appoint deputies or set their compensation.
