SB 1028 -- LAW ENFORCEMENT DISTRICTS

SPONSOR:  Russell (Luetkemeyer)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Public Safety, Law Enforcement and Veteran Affairs by a vote of
20 to 0.

This bill amends certain procedures in the creation of a law
enforcement district.  Once a petition for creation of a district
is filed, the bill provides a process for holding a public
hearing on the proposed district.  Current law allows the owner
of property or any registered voter within the proposed district
to object to the proposed district, but does not require a public
hearing.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill will alleviate current
problems involved in locating property owners in certain parts of
the state for notice purposes.

Testifying for the bill was Senator Russell.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
