SB 739 - Currently, upon approval of the board of aldermen, a fire department employee shall not be required to live within the department 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. Under this act, each applicant for a full-time position with the fire department of St. Louis City must be able to prove eligibility to be legally employed in the United States and acquire his or her residence in the city within 90 days of appointment. An employee must maintain residency in the city for seven years. After seven years, the person no longer must maintain residency in the city. Employees who have satisfied this requirement and move outside the city must reside within one-hour response time. The act removes the provision allowing the voters of St. Louis City to prevent: 1) the enactment of these provisions in the city, and 2) requiring the employees of the city to forfeit 1% of their salaries in order to reside outside of the city.
