Changes provisions relating to county coroners

HB 1122 replaces Missouri's existing coroner qualifications and compensation laws with new requirements. It mandates that county coroners must be U.S. citizens over 21 who have resided in the state for a year and the county for six months prior to election, plus complete certified death investigation training from approved organizations. The bill establishes a salary schedule based on county assessed valuation (e.g., $8,000 for counties with $18M-$41M valuation), with $1,000 of that salary contingent on completing 20+ hours of annual training. This directly affects all Missouri county coroners by changing their eligibility, salary structure, and ongoing training obligations.
