HB 2101 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Authorizes a charter county to establish term limits for elected county officials

HB 2101 allows charter counties (those operating under their own governing charters) to set term limits for locally elected county officials, such as commissioners or supervisors. The bill adds a new section to state law enabling these counties to establish specific term limits through their charters. It does not require counties to implement term limits, only authorizes them to do so if they choose. This change directly affects charter counties and their elected local leaders, providing a legal mechanism for counties to define term limits in their governing documents. The bill is currently in early legislative stages with no votes taken yet.
