AN ACT
To amend chapter 54, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to county treasurers.
Section A. Chapter 54, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 54.033, to read as follows:
54.033. Each county treasurer shall designate in writing a qualified individual to act temporarily on his or her behalf in the instance when the county treasurer is incapacitated so as to be unable to complete the duties of the office for not more than sixty days. Such individual must not be ineligible to serve as a county treasurer under section 54.040 and must comply with section 54.090. The designee shall only be given authority to perform the duties of the county treasurer until the county treasurer confirms in writing that he or she has the requisite capacity to act again as county treasurer or for not more than sixty days, whichever occurs first. After the designee takes the oath of office pursuant to section 54.090 and performs such duties on behalf of the county treasurer for sixty days, the office shall be considered vacant and filled according to the provisions of section 105.030, RSMo.
