HCS SCS SB 782 -- COUNTY TREASURERS

SPONSOR:  Caskey (Johnson, 47)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Local Government by a vote of 18 to 0.

or otherwise to serve until the treasurer returns or the
unexpired term is filled by gubernatorial appointment.

The substitute also allows the salary commission of Cape
Girardeau County to determine in 2004 whether to equalize the
base salary of the county treasurer to an amount not greater than
the current maximum statutory salary for treasurers in counties
of the first classification.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and
FY 2007.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill will prevent an
interruption of services.

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

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
