SJR 17 - This constitutional amendment, if adopted by Missouri voters, authorizes the Commission on Judicial Resources to determine the number of associate and circuit court judges needed in each judicial circuit for the efficient administration of justice.
The Commission may add or remove circuit court judge
positions based upon the caseloads in various circuits, unless
the General Assembly nullifies such action. The judgeships of
incumbent and sitting judges are not subject to review of the
Commission. Voters in each county will have the right to vote on
at least one associate circuit judge in their circuit.
