Modifies provisions relating to the appointment of commissioners in the 7th judicial circuit

Summary

The measure lets circuit and associate circuit judges in Missouri’s 7th judicial circuit – and in the 11th, 13th, and 31st circuits under certain conditions – appoint up to three additional family court commissioners. Commissioners would serve four‑year terms, be paid and receive retirement benefits like associate judges, and must meet the same qualifications as a circuit judge. The bill also ties new appointments to state reimbursement or other approved funding sources.
