Bill > SB727

This bill modifies Missouri state law by adding a new section to Chapter 56 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo) that establishes a specific venue rule for legal cases involving multiple prosecuting attorneys and the Attorney General. Specifically, if a lawsuit names more than one elected prosecuting attorney and the Attorney General as defendants, the case must be heard in the Circuit Court of Cole County, Missouri. This provision appears to standardize the legal venue for such multi-defendant cases involving elected prosecuting attorneys, potentially simplifying jurisdictional questions and providing a consistent location for resolving legal disputes involving these public officials. By specifying Cole County as the mandatory venue, the bill ensures that such cases will be heard in the state capital's circuit court, which may offer logistical or administrative advantages for complex litigation involving multiple government legal representatives.
