HJR 108 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Adds employees of school districts to the list of allowed employment for members of the general assembly

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to allow members of the Missouri General Assembly to work as employees for school districts without losing their legislative seats. Currently, legislators must vacate their office if they accept employment from the state or its municipalities, but this change would create a specific exception for school district jobs. The amendment also clarifies that teachers, substitute teachers, and school board members are not subject to the general rule requiring legislators to leave office upon accepting state employment. If passed by voters, this provision would enable lawmakers to simultaneously hold public office and work in the education sector.
