HB 2752 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Adds an associate circuit judge to the twenty-third judicial circuit

HB 2752 adds two associate circuit judge positions (divisions 5 and 6) to Missouri's twenty-third judicial circuit (Jefferson County), converting existing family court and treatment court commissioner roles into these judge positions starting January 1, 2007. It also creates one new associate circuit judge position to be appointed by the governor until January 1, 2029, with an election in 2028. These changes increase the circuit's total judicial capacity to six full circuit judges and one associate judge. The bill directly affects Jefferson County residents by expanding local judicial resources for family and treatment courts.
