Bill Summary

Modifies provisions relating to the Sheriffs' Retirement System

AI Summary

This bill modifies the Sheriffs' Retirement System by changing how surcharges are collected and used. Specifically, the bill eliminates the previous requirement to collect a three-dollar surcharge in criminal cases, now limiting the surcharge to civil actions only. The surcharge will continue to be collected by court clerks and paid into the sheriffs' retirement fund. The bill also adds a provision allowing the retirement board to accept gifts, donations, grants, and bequests from public or private sources to support the sheriffs' retirement fund. These changes appear to streamline the surcharge collection process and provide additional flexibility for funding the retirement system. The bill repeals existing sections of Missouri Revised Statutes (RSMo) related to 57.955 and 488.024 and replaces them with these updated provisions. The primary impact is a narrowing of the surcharge collection scope and an expansion of potential funding sources for the sheriffs' retirement system.
