Missouri’s mediation board would elect its own chair each year

The state board of mediation would elect one of its members as chair. The five-member board includes two employer representatives, two union members, and one person who is neither an employee nor an employer. If the chair’s position becomes vacant, the board would elect a member to serve until the next annual election. The first election would occur at the board’s first meeting after August 28, 2026. Later elections would occur at its first meeting in each calendar year.
