Proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Missouri to require Jackson County to have an elected county assessor instead of an unelected assessment department

HJR 3 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Jackson County to elect its county assessor instead of using an unelected assessment department. This bill directly affects Jackson County residents and its local government structure, as it would mandate the assessor position be filled through public election rather than appointment. The key provision repeals the current constitutional language allowing unelected assessors and replaces it with a requirement that charter counties (like Jackson County, which has 600,000-700,000 residents) must elect their assessor. The amendment would be submitted to Missouri voters in 2026 for approval.
