Bill Summary
Modifies the salary for the attorney of the sheriff of St. Louis City
AI Summary
This bill modifies the law regarding the attorney employed by the sheriff of St. Louis City, specifically concerning their compensation and employment terms. Previously, the law stipulated a minimum and maximum annual salary for this "sheriff's attorney," payable in semimonthly installments. However, this bill repeals that provision and enacts a new section that allows the sheriff to set the compensation for the attorney they hire. This compensation will be paid from the same funds used to pay the sheriff. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the attorney employed by the sheriff will serve at the sheriff's pleasure, meaning the sheriff can terminate their employment at any time.
