COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Amendment 6 would amend the Missouri Constitution to help boost funding for salaries and benefits for former and current law enforcement personnel.

The amendment would allow for costs and fees to be levied for current and former sheriffs, prosecuting attorneys and circuit attorneys. The ballot title says the financial impact on the state is not known.

There's not much to this amendment -- it was placed on the ballot by the General Assembly and the language runs less than two pages.

Fair ballot language

A “yes” vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to levy costs and fees to support salaries and benefits for current and former sheriffs, prosecuting attorneys, and circuit attorneys to ensure all Missourians have access to the courts of justice.

A “no” vote will not amend the Missouri Constitution to levy costs and fees related to current or former sheriffs, prosecuting attorneys and circuit attorneys.

If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes.
