MO HB3148

Expands eligibility for law enforcement positions in Missouri to include lawful permanent residents of the United States who have been honorably discharged from the U.S. Armed Forces, in addition to U.S. citizens

Amends three sections of Missouri law (84.120, 84.570, and 590.030) governing police officer appointments in St. Louis and Kansas City, as well as statewide peace officer licensing requirements

Removes the previous requirement that police officers must be U.S. citizens, replacing it with the expanded citizenship/permanent resident eligibility criteria

Requires the POST (Peace Officer Standards and Training) commission to allow permanent residents with honorable military discharge to obtain peace officer licenses, notwithstanding any other citizenship requirements
