HB 1729 -- Law Enforcement Safety Fund

Sponsor:  Rupp

This bill creates the Law Enforcement Safety Fund to be
administered by a board of directors comprised of two chiefs of
police who are members of the Missouri Police Chiefs Association,
two full-time police officers who are members of a state
fraternal order of police, a sheriff, a legislator on the Joint
Committee on Retirement, and a member at large appointed by the
board.

A surcharge of $7 will be assessed in all criminal cases filed
and will be deposited into the fund.  Each person employed
full-time as a marshal or chief of police, police officer,
sheriff, or deputy sheriff, excluding sheriffs from St. Louis
City, may become members of the contribution system.  A member
will receive the funds he or she contributes plus any interest or
dividends accrued, minus maintenance fees.
