CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 995 - Currently, the sheriff of the City of St. Louis is elected. This act instead provides that a majority of the circuit and associate circuit judges of the 22nd Judicial Circuit, consisting of the City of St. Louis, shall appoint the sheriff. The sheriff is removable for cause by a majority of the judges pursuant to Missouri Supreme Court rules. The elected sheriff holding office on August 28, 2026, shall continue to hold office for the remainder of his or her term.
This act is similar to SB 484 (2017), HCS/HB 878 (2017), and SB 527 (2015).
