HJR 96 -- Missouri Citizen's 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 file a schedule of
compensation with a separate salary recommendation for elected
state officials, a separate salary recommendation for all judges
except municipal judges, and a separate salary recommendation for
all members of the General Assembly.  The General Assembly will
be able to veto any salary recommendation by a two-thirds
majority vote prior to February 1 of the year following the
filing of the schedule.
