HB 1825 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Removes the prosecuting attorney and the sheriff from the county salary commission

HB 1825 removes the prosecuting attorney and sheriff from membership on county salary commissions in Missouri's nonchartered counties. The bill revises the law to exclude these two elected officials from the commission's required members, which now include the county clerk, county commissioners, recorder of deeds (if separate), and other specified county officials. This change directly affects the composition of salary commissions, which set pay for county officers like clerks and assessors. The bill does not alter the commission's duties, meeting requirements, or open meeting rules.
