Modifies provisions relating to the retirement of certain judges

This bill modifies the retirement rules for magistrate judges, probate judges, and probate ex officio magistrate judges in Missouri, primarily by raising the mandatory retirement age from seventy to seventy-five. It allows judges who have served fewer than twelve years to petition to continue working until age seventy-six, provided they are still able to perform their duties, while ensuring no one serves beyond that age unless finishing an elected term. Additionally, the legislation updates retirement benefit eligibility, permitting judges aged sixty-seven or sixty-two to retire with reduced compensation based on their years of service if they have not yet met the standard twelve or twenty-year requirements. The bill also mandates that judges contribute four percent of their salary to the retirement system, with the state employer covering these costs and paying interest on the accounts.
