Provides that the Sheriff of the City of St. Louis shall be appointed by the judges of the 22nd Judicial Circuit, rather than elected

Summary

HB 3224 would end the election of the City of St. Louis sheriff and have the position filled by a majority vote of the 22nd Judicial Circuit judges. The sitting sheriff would finish the current term, and any future sheriff would meet the same qualifications as elected sheriffs but could be removed for cause by the judges. The proposal changes who chooses the city’s top law‑enforcement officer and how they can be removed.
