St. Louis County Eyes New Panhandling Rules | St. Louis News
Description
St. Louis County is rolling out new rules to curb “aggressive solicitation” in panhandling — targeting behaviors like touching, tailing, or using profanity — while also banning begging in high-traffic zones like bus stops, highway ramps, and near ATMs, plus from sunset to 9 AM daily. This isn’t the first attempt; a similar bill was vetoed last year, and the proposal still faces committee reviews and potential votes, as officials strive to balance public safety with compassion.
