Adds substitute teachers to the list of allowed employment for members of the general assembly
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Missouri state legislators to work as substitute teachers without losing their seats or salary. Currently, the law prohibits lawmakers from accepting employment within the state, but this change specifically exempts substitute teaching from that restriction. The amendment also clarifies that the rule against taking new state jobs does not apply to members of the militia, school boards, or notaries public. If passed by voters, it would directly affect members of the General Assembly by permitting them to take on temporary teaching roles during their terms.
