MO SJR36

Submits to Missouri voters a constitutional amendment changing how compensation schedules for elected state officials, legislators, and judges are approved by the general assembly.

Changes the approval process from requiring a two-thirds majority vote to disapprove compensation schedules to requiring a simple majority vote to approve them.

Requires separate majority vote approval for judges' compensation schedules apart from other public officials' compensation.

Creates the Missouri Citizens' Commission on Compensation for Elected Officials with members selected through random selection from each congressional district, gubernatorial appointments, and one retired judge appointed by the state supreme court.

Mandates the commission hold at least four public hearings in different locations before filing any compensation schedule and makes all commission meetings and records open to public inspection.
