Makes county prosecutors state employees

This bill reclassifies county prosecutors in Missouri as state employees, granting them access to state health insurance, retirement plans, and other benefits currently available to state workers. While circuit attorneys are excluded from this change, the legislation also establishes specific salary supplements for prosecutors in counties with larger correctional facilities and mandates that certain prosecutors in fourth-class counties work full-time without practicing law. Additionally, the bill sets limits on the number of assistant prosecutors a county can hire based on its assessed valuation and provides a mechanism for voters to petition for converting a prosecutor's role into a full-time position.
