SB 4 - This act provides that any beneficiary of a deceased judge who served as a judge after August 28, 1995 or who was approved for long term disability benefits shall receive retirement compensation.

A surviving spouse may apply to the board of trustees of the Missouri state employees' retirement system to serve as a special consultant on the problems of surviving spouses. Such a spouse will not qualify as a consultant if he or she is eligible to receive benefits as a beneficiary of a deceased judge. The surviving spouse named as a consultant shall receive compensation from the general revenue of Missouri.
