This act repeals the separate salaries for circuit clerks in those counties where court is held in two cities, in Marion County, and in the City of St. Louis. Additionally, this act repeals the provision regarding the Marion County circuit clerk charging $10 per year to each person obligated to make child support payments through the clerk. Finally, this act provides that the annual compensation of any circuit clerk shall not be less than the previous yearly compensation.

This act is identical to a provision in SCS/HB 352 (2025) and is similar to a provision in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS#2/SCS/HB 199 (2025), in HCS/SS/SB 221 (2025), in HCS/HB 756 (2025), and HB 914 (2025).
