DESCRIPTION



This bill changes the laws regarding the St. Louis and Kansas City Police Retirement Systems.



Six trustees of the Board of Trustees of the St. Louis Police Retirement System will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and official actions of the board will require a majority vote of the trustees present. Currently, six votes of the trustees are necessary for official actions.



The Retirement Board of the Kansas City Police Civilian Employees' Retirement System is required to appoint any member as a special consultant if they meet specific criteria which include: (1) having a retirement status effective on or before August 28, 2003; (2) receiving retirement benefits; and (3) having applied to the board. The bill also requires a funeral benefit of $1,000 be paid in addition to all other benefits for this member. Proper proof of death is required before the benefit is paid.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
