Bill > HB1294

This bill establishes a Task Force on Gun Violence in the City of St. Louis, comprising 15 members including four state legislators (two from the senate and two from the house of representatives), the director of public safety, and eight community members from St. Louis. The community members will include representatives from the police department, schools (administrators and teachers), a parent, a student from a Gun Safety Student Ambassadors program, and two at-large community representatives. The task force will elect a chair and meet monthly, beginning before January 1, 2026, with members serving without compensation but receiving expense reimbursement. The task force will create specialized teams focused on data analysis, awareness raising, community partnerships, developing solutions to reduce gun violence, and measuring progress. The department of public safety will provide administrative support, and the task force will submit annual reports to the governor and general assembly. The task force is initially set to expire on December 31, 2027, but may be extended until December 31, 2029, if deemed necessary by the department of public safety.
