Proposes a constitutional amendment adding employees of school districts to the list of allowed employment for members of the general assembly
HJR 34 proposes a constitutional amendment to Missouri's Article III, adding "employees of school districts" to the list of exempt positions for state legislators. Currently, legislators cannot hold certain government jobs, but school district employees were not explicitly exempt (unlike school board members). This bill would allow legislators to work for school districts without losing their legislative seat. The amendment would take effect if approved by voters, changing the existing rule to include these employees in the exemption. It directly affects state representatives and senators who work for or seek employment with school districts.
