HCS SCS SB 547 -- COUNTY OFFICIALS' SALARIES

SPONSOR:  Caskey (Johnson, 47)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Local Government by a vote of 11 to 0.

This substitute removes one of the two salary schedules used for
county treasurers in Clay County and in counties of the second,
third, and fourth classification.  The schedule being removed has
a lower minimum and maximum salary range than the salary schedule
to be left in statute.

The substitute also allows the Cole County Commission the
one-time opportunity to equalize the salaries of all office
holders and remain equal from that point on.  The substitute
allows for additional compensation as law requires.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the substitute removes a county
treasurer salary schedule that is no longer needed.

Testifying for the bill were Senator Caskey; and Missouri County
Treasurers Association.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
