Bill > HB172

This bill modifies the compensation structure for county sheriffs in Missouri's third and fourth classification counties by maintaining the existing salary calculation method based on a percentage of an associate circuit judge's compensation, which ranges from 45% to 65% depending on the county's assessed valuation. The bill adds a new provision requiring the state to reimburse at least 30% of a third classification county sheriff's salary. The bill preserves existing requirements that salary increases over $10,000 be implemented incrementally over five years and that sheriffs must complete at least 20 hours of professional training annually to receive a $2,000 salary supplement. The legislation ensures that sheriffs in non-charter counties cannot receive less compensation than specified in the law, and continues the previous provisions preventing any reduction in sheriff compensation from the prior year.
