MO HB944

County prosecuting attorneys elected after December 31, 2015 are limited to two four-year terms

In charter counties with more than 950,000 inhabitants, a petition signed by 15% of registered voters citing poor public perception or unfair actions triggers a 10% budget cut to the prosecuting attorney's office

Creates the "Public Perception Fund" in the state treasury to hold deducted budget funds, which must be used for community outreach programs with the prosecuting attorney's office

Full-time prosecuting attorneys and assistant prosecuting attorneys would receive annual salary equal to a general assembly member's compensation, replacing the previous assessed valuation-based pay schedule

Part-time prosecuting attorneys would receive no more than $30,000 per year
