SB 1717 MO
SB 1717 - Currently, the state is reimbursed for the salaries of family court commissioners appointed after August 28, 1993. There is an exception for the 11th (St. Charles County), 13th (Callaway and Boone Counties), and 31st (Greene County) Judicial Circuits, which allows one family court commissioner to be compensated by the state without requiring reimbursement. This act applies the exception to the 7th Judicial Circuit, consisting of Clay County. This act is identical to a provision in HCS/SB 945 (2026), in HCS/SB 1067 (2026), in HCS/HBs 2968, 2427 & 3086 (2026), HB 3387 (2026), and HB 3449 (2026). KATIE O'BRIEN

Summary
This act modifies how family court commissioners are compensated in the 7th Judicial Circuit, which includes Clay County. Currently, the state is reimbursed for the salaries of family court commissioners appointed after August 28, 1993 in most judicial circuits, but the 11th, 13th, and 31st Judicial Circuits are exempt and may have one commissioner paid by the state without requiring reimbursement. The act extends this same exemption to the 7th Judicial Circuit, allowing one family court commissioner in Clay County to be compensated by the state without requiring reimbursement. This change aligns the 7th Judicial Circuit with compensation policies in other designated circuits.
