HB 1426 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Adds a circuit judge to the 11th judicial circuit

HB 1426 adds a seventh circuit judge position to the 11th judicial circuit, effective August 28, 2025, creating a new Division 17. This increases the total number of circuit judges in the 11th circuit from six to seven, with the new position designated as Division 17. The bill also converts existing family court and treatment court commissioner roles into associate circuit judge positions in Divisions 9, 10, and a new associate role, but does not alter court policies or procedures. The change is purely structural, affecting only the staffing and division numbering within the 11th judicial circuit.
