HB 515 - This act modifies provisions of law relating to the Police Retirement System of the City of St. Louis. Currently the medical board which is responsible for determining disability retirement is composed of board of three physicians of different disciplines appointed by the trustees of the police retirement board. This act provides that the medical board shall be a health care organization appointed by the trustees of the police retirement board, and repeals provisions of law which state that opinions and recommendations to the board of trustees regarding disability retirement can be based upon the opinion of a single member or that of an outside specialists, if one is appointed. Under the act the medical board, rather than a medical director and appointed physicians, is now responsible for the arrangement of all medical examinations and investigations in connection with an application for disability retirement. The act repeals the existence of the board of police commissioners and grants the various duties of the board of police commissioners to the chief of police or the board of trustees of the police retirement system as specified in the act.
