HJR 42 -- Missouri Citizens' Commission on Compensation for
Elected Officials

Sponsor:  Kander

Currently, salary recommendations for elected officials, judges,
and members of the General Assembly are made by the Missouri
Citizens' Commission on Compensation for Elected Officials in a
single salary schedule that must be approved or rejected as a
whole by the General Assembly.  Upon voter approval and beginning
no later than December 1, 2012, this proposed constitutional
amendment requires the commission to submit separate salary
recommendations for elected state officials, all judges except
municipal judges, and members of the General Assembly.  The
General Assembly will be able to veto a single salary
recommendation by a two-thirds majority vote prior to February 1
of the year following the filing of the recommendation.
