HB 435 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Adds a circuit judge to the 25th judicial circuit

HB 435 adds a third judicial division to Missouri's 25th Judicial Circuit, which covers Maries, Phelps, Pulaski, and Texas counties. The bill creates a new division three position, initially filled by a governor-appointed judge serving until January 1, 2029, followed by an elected judge in 2028. This change directly affects the judicial structure and caseload distribution for these four counties' courts. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on court organization without altering substantive laws or policies.
