Missouri Supreme Court’s Opinion – June 1, 2021

For decades, the Missouri legislature has chosen to fund the Missouri Sheriffs’ Retirement System using a $3 surcharge collected in most civil and criminal cases filed in Missouri courts. Earlier this week, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the surcharge places an unconstitutional burden on Missourians’ access to the courts.

The full effect of the Court’s ruling is unclear. I will be meeting with the Retirement System’s board of directors later this week to discuss any additional legal and legislative options.

While we all are disappointed by this ruling, the board members and I are committed to making sure that current and retired Missouri sheriffs receive the benefits they have earned. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
