HB 2920 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to county prosecuting attorneys

This bill updates Missouri laws regarding county prosecuting attorneys by redefining key legal terms and establishing new election requirements for the office. It clarifies definitions for concepts like "certified mail," "handicap," and "incompetent" to ensure consistency across various statutes. The legislation also sets specific eligibility criteria for prosecutors, requiring them to be licensed attorneys at least 21 years old who have resided in the jurisdiction for twelve months prior to the election. Additionally, it allows multiple contiguous counties within a judicial circuit to jointly employ a single prosecuting attorney to improve efficiency.
