Proposes a constitutional amendment specifying the election, powers, and duties of a county sheriff

HJR 124 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Missouri counties to elect sheriffs every four years by majority vote of county voters, with specific exceptions for certain cities and large-county scenarios. It defines the sheriff as the chief law enforcement officer with duties including apprehending felons, attending court sessions, executing court processes, and maintaining public order. The amendment also restricts removal of sheriffs to a writ of quo warranto initiated by the attorney general, barring other removal methods. This would directly affect all Missouri counties (except those with specific charters or population thresholds) by changing how sheriffs are elected and their core responsibilities under state law.
