SJR 63 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the election, rather than the selection, of certain circuit and associate circuit judges

SJR 63 would change how certain circuit and associate circuit judges are chosen, requiring them to be elected by voters instead of being appointed by officials. This directly affects judges serving in specific judicial districts who currently face selection by governors or commissions. The bill's key mechanism shifts the process from appointment to direct election for these judicial positions. As a procedural resolution, it does not alter judicial duties or create new laws.
