Modifies provisions governing the compensation of prosecuting attorneys
HB 1157 sets new salary standards for prosecuting attorneys in Missouri counties based on the county's assessed valuation (wealth). Full-time prosecutors now earn the same as associate circuit judges, while part-time prosecutors earn 67% of that salary, with specific pay ranges from $37,000 to $55,000 depending on county valuation. The bill requires prosecutors to complete 20 hours of approved annual training to receive an additional $2,000 of their salary, with training certificates sent to county treasurers. It directly affects county prosecuting attorneys and city circuit attorneys (in cities not within counties), standardizing compensation and adding training requirements.
