Bill > SB1

This bill modifies several provisions related to county officials' salaries and responsibilities across multiple sections of Missouri law. The bill makes changes to how salaries are calculated for county coroners, sheriffs, auditors, and public administrators in counties without a charter form of government. Key modifications include adjusting salary schedules based on county assessed valuation, requiring additional training for certain officials (such as 20 hours of annual classroom instruction), and clarifying compensation rules. For public administrators, the bill changes the effective date for mandatory salary selection from January 1, 2023, to January 1, 2024, and adds provisions about how letters of guardianship and conservatorship are counted. The bill also provides more flexibility for salary commissions in determining compensation, ensures consistent percentage adjustments across county offices, and allows for additional compensation in specific circumstances, such as when a coroner serves as an acting sheriff. These changes aim to standardize and potentially improve compensation and professional development for various county-level elected officials.
