CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 814 - Currently, under Article V of the Missouri Constitution, circuit and associate circuit judges within the city of St. Louis and Jackson County are selected through the nonpartisan court plan. Other judicial circuits may by a majority vote elect to have the circuit and associate circuit judges appointed through the nonpartisan court plan. This act provides for the election of all circuit and associate circuit judges.
The provisions of this act are contingent upon the passage of a constitutional amendment that requires elections for all circuit and associate circuit judges.
This act is identical to SB 683 (2020).
