Bill > HB249

This bill modifies several provisions related to county officials' compensation and responsibilities across various roles in Missouri. The bill makes technical changes to salary schedules for county officials like coroners, sheriffs, public administrators, and county auditors, primarily adjusting language around how salaries are computed and when certain compensation adjustments can be made. Key modifications include expanding salary commission flexibility for some counties, clarifying training requirements for officials like coroners and public administrators, and making minor technical corrections to existing law. Notably, the bill changes the effective date for public administrators' mandatory salary elections from January 1, 2023, to January 1, 2024, and adds some definitional clarifications around terms like "letter of guardianship" and "letter of conservatorship". The bill appears to be a technical cleanup and standardization of existing statutes governing county official compensation, with incremental adjustments to provide more consistent and flexible compensation frameworks across different Missouri counties.
