HCS SB 739 -- FIRE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS

Currently, upon approval of the board of aldermen, a fire
department employee of the City of St. Louis is not required to
live within the fire department's geographical boundaries if the
only public school district in the area has been unaccredited or
provisionally accredited in the last five years of the person's
employment, and any fire department employee who lives outside
the city limits must forfeit 1% of his or her salary to offset
any lost revenue for the city unless the voters of the city vote
to prevent the enforcement of the 1% forfeiture.

This bill removes the provisions regarding the salary forfeiture
and the required approval of the board of alderman regarding
residency and specifies that any employee who has worked seven
years for a fire department cannot be required to comply with the
residency requirement but must reside within a one-hour response
time if the only school district in the area is or has been
unaccredited or provisionally accredited in the last five years
of the person's employment.
