Bill > HB2101

This bill allows charter counties in Missouri to establish term limits for their elected county officials through their county charter. A charter county is a type of county government that operates under its own locally created constitution (charter) rather than under a standard state-defined structure. Currently, the bill indicates that such counties do not have explicit authority to set term limits for their elected officials, and this legislation would provide them with the legal ability to do so. By adding this provision to Chapter 66 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo), the bill gives charter counties the discretion to determine and implement their own term limit policies for county-level elected positions, which could help promote government accountability and provide opportunities for new leadership.
