SB 803 - This act provides that each public administrator in second, third, or fourth class counties and in the St. Louis city who begins a first term on or after January 1, 2021, shall be deemed to have elected to receive a salary. Currently, if a public administrator elects to be placed on salary, the salary is determined by a schedule based on the average number of open letters in the two years preceding the term in which the salary is elected. This act repeals the schedule based on open letters and only provides that the salary shall be paid according to the assessed valuation schedule. Additionally, this act repeals the provision regarding the determination of initial compensation for public administrators who have elected to be put on salary, the requirements of salary increases or decreases, and the determination of the number of letters. This act has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2021. KATIE O'BRIEN
