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

Summary

The bill replaces existing sections of the Revised Statutes that govern who can serve as sheriff and how the St. Louis sheriff may staff and pay deputies. It adds residency, felony‑free, and peace‑officer‑license requirements for sheriffs, and sets a minimum $50,000 annual salary for deputies that cannot exceed the rate set by the city’s board of aldermen. The changes were intended to standardize qualifications and compensation but the measure did not pass.
