Missouri HJR110 proposes a constitutional amendment to establish sheriffs' duties and election processes. The amendment mandates sheriffs to quell assaults, apprehend felons, attend court sessions, and execute court processes. It also requires sheriffs to be conservators of the peace, ensuring offenders appear in court. The amendment allows sheriffs to hire deputies and sets their compensation. It mandates the election of sheriffs for four-year terms unless the office is not elected, in which case counties can restore it.
