Establishes provisions relating to the venue for cases involving more than 1 elected prosecuting attorney and the attorney general
HB 1299 specifies that cases where Missouri's Attorney General and more than one elected prosecuting attorney are named as defendants must be heard in the Cole County circuit court. This bill directly affects legal proceedings involving multiple prosecuting attorneys and the state attorney general, changing where such cases are filed. The key provision mandates Cole County as the required venue for these specific lawsuits, streamlining jurisdiction without altering substantive legal standards. It is a procedural rule with no broader policy impact.
