SB 1415 - Currently, under Article V of the Missouri Constitution, judges of the Supreme Court of Missouri and of the Court of Appeals and certain circuit and associate circuit judges are selected by gubernatorial appointment following nominations from the nonpartisan commissions while the remaining judges are elected. This act repeals provisions relating to the nonpartisan selection. This act is contingent upon the passage of a constitutional amendment that requires the appointment of all judges of the Supreme Court and of the Court of Appeals by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, and requires the election of all circuit and associate circuit judges.
