HB 1393 -- STATE HIGHWAY PATROL

SPONSOR:  Behnen

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Crime Prevention and Public Safety by a vote of 13 to 0.

This bill permits the Superintendent of the State Highway Patrol
to establish guidelines under which members of the patrol may be
employed in another position.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and
FY 2009.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that many highway patrol officers are
enticed to leave the patrol to accept higher paying jobs.  The
bill will allow the superintendent to determine what is proper
secondary employment so that patrol officers can earn extra
income to help support their families.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Behnen; Missouri
State Troopers Association; and State Highway Patrol.
