Modifies provisions relating to the appointment of commissioners in the 7th judicial circuit

HB 3387 modifies how family court commissioners are appointed in four specific Missouri judicial circuits (7th, 11th, 13th, and 31st). It allows these circuits to appoint state-paid commissioners without requiring reimbursement, replacing previous rules that tied commissioner salaries to state or federal reimbursement. However, it strictly limits new appointments to not exceed the number of such commissioners existing as of specific dates (1999 for the 11th circuit, 2013 for the 13th/31st, and 2027 for the 7th). Commissioners must meet the same qualifications as circuit judges and receive compensation equivalent to associate circuit judges.
