SJR 110 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to jury trial waivers in criminal cases

SJR 110 proposes amending Missouri's Constitution to allow criminal defendants to waive jury trials with the government's and court's consent, making the judge's ruling legally equivalent to a jury verdict. It repeals the current constitutional provision on jury trials and replaces it with new language governing jury sizes in civil cases and waiver procedures. This constitutional amendment will be submitted to Missouri voters in the 2026 election for approval or rejection. The bill directly affects criminal defendants who choose to forgo a jury trial.
