Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 473, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 473.745, to read as follows:
473.745. 1. Any city not within a county shall provide suitable furnishings for the public administrator and through its supply commissioner shall purchase all necessary supplies for such public administrator. All such supplies shall be furnished upon requisition of the public administrator for such city not within a county, which shall be approved by the comptroller.
2. All the necessary expenses incurred by the public administrator of any city not within a county in the conduct of the duties of his or her office shall, upon his or her requisition, be approved by the comptroller and be paid out of the treasury of such city not within a county.
3. The public administrator for any city not within a county shall, with the approval of a majority of the circuit judges of the circuit court of such city not within a county, employ as many deputies and assistants as may be necessary to perform the duties of his or her office, and fix the compensation for their services; however, such compensation shall not in any case exceed the annual rate of compensation fixed by the board of aldermen for such city not within a county. For additional duties imposed by this section, the public administrator shall act as trustee or successor trustee when so appointed by the circuit court or the probate division of the circuit court.
