The Missouri Constitution Since achieving statehood and joining the union on August 10, 1821, Missouri has operated under four Constitutions. The first was adopted in 1820 and was presented to Congress before Missouri was allowed to enter the union of states. The state’s second Constitution, born in the bitterness and strife of the Civil War, was drafted and adopted in 1865. It was replaced by a third Constitution only ten years later, in 1875. Missourians approved their current Constitu- tion in 1945, and it has been amended a number of times in order to meet the changing needs of our state and its people. The Constitution of the State of Missouri is published by the Office of Secretary of State pursuant to the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo 2.110). Copies of the Missouri Constitution, which also includes the text of the U.S. Constitution, are available without charge by contacting: Secretary of State Jason Kander Division of Publications PO Box 1767 Jefferson City, MO 65102 Phone: (573) 751-4218 or (866) 716-0237 www.sos.mo.gov/pubs Email: [email protected] EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS 335 † † ‡ t Cour Court Circuit Courts Courts Supreme of Appeals of h anc Br Judicial Judicial of Commission on Public Defender Public tati anspor * Tr

The department is headed by the Conservation Commission, whose four members, no more than two of whom may belong to the same political party, are appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the Sen- ate. They serve with no compensation for staggered six-year terms. The department’s principal sources of revenue are receipts from the sale of hunting and fishing permits and the one-eighth of one percent conservation sales tax.

Department chaplains assigned to every institution work with volunteers from various faith-groups to ensure constitutional rights of inmates to practice the religion of their choice are facilitated within the limitations of a secure setting. Religious and spiritual services are used as a restorative and transforming tool for inmate change, growth and social reintegration. Chaplains partner with the outside faith community to provide effective service delivery for the DOUG WORSHAM DORIS FALKENRATH offenders, both in the institution and relative to Supervisor, Religious / Spiritual Coordinator community reentry.

The traditional rate case is the process through which the commission ultimately determines what customers will pay for their utility services. The process is commenced in one of two ways: a utility company files a tariff for authority to change its rates, or a complaint is filed by the commission, the PSC staff, the Office of the Pub- lic Counsel or others challenging the reasonableness of the utility’s rates.

The Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBHE) was authorized by an amendment to the Missouri Constitution in 1972 and established by statute in the Omnibus State Reorganization Act of 1974. The nine board members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate. The term of appointment is six years. No more than five of the nine members may be affiliated with the same political party, and all members serve without compensation. The CBHE has statutory responsibilities relating to higher education programs and policies and oversees the activities of the Missouri Department of Higher Education (MDHE), which serves as the administrative arm CAROLYN MAHONEY DALTON WRIGHT Member, Coordinating Board for Member, Coordinating Board for of the CBHE.

The MDHE also administers the Missouri Stu- dent Loan Program, the state-designated guaranty agency for the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). The Healthcare and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act went into effect July 1, 2010, eliminating FFELP and mandating that new federal student loans would be dis- bursed through the Federal Direct Loan Program. As a result, the MDHE maintains its existing $2.1 billion loan guarantee portfolio but will not guarantee new loans issued from the federal government.

The University of Missouri was founded in 1839 in Columbia as the first public university west of the Mississippi River. Today, with a record enrollment of more than 35,000 students, 13,000 full-time employees and 296,000 alumni worldwide, Missouri’s flagship university is a $2.1 billion enterprise and an important investment for the state and nation.

The two groups eventually united and, in 1929, the University of Kansas City was chartered. In 1930, William Volker, Kansas City manufacturer and philanthropist, started the campus with a donation of 40 acres from the William Rockhill Nelson estate. Despite the ravages of the Great Depression, civic leaders stayed the course, believing that a university was critical to efforts to reverse the economic doldrums. In 1931, Volker donated funds to purchase the Walter S. Dickey mansion and grounds. It was in this remodeled building that the University of Kansas City began its first LEO E.

The parks, soils and water tax was created through a constitutional amendment and earmarked specifically for the state park system and efforts to stop soil erosion.
