SB 1388 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Provides for the county prosecuting attorney system to be converted to a circuit court district attorney system

SB 1388 would reorganize prosecutors' offices by converting the current county-level prosecuting attorney system into a circuit court district attorney system. This change would replace individual county prosecutors with a single district attorney responsible for multiple counties within a judicial circuit. The bill directly affects county prosecutors and the jurisdictions they serve, shifting oversight from county boundaries to broader judicial circuits. It is a procedural change to the structure of prosecutorial offices, not a policy shift affecting public law or rights.
