AN ACT
To amend chapter 53, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to county assessors, with an emergency clause.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 53, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 53.012, to read as follows:
53.012. At the general election in the year 2008 and every four years thereafter the qualified voters in any county with a charter form of government and with more than one million inhabitants shall elect a county assessor. Any assessor elected under this section shall be subject to all provisions applicable to such county governing county assessors.
Section B. Because immediate action is necessary to allow candidates for county assessor to file for the general election, section A of this act is deemed necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, welfare, peace, and safety, and is hereby declared to be an emergency act within the meaning of the constitution, and section A of this act shall be in full force and effect upon its passage and approval.
