The session to meet in Jefferson City in January pushes major bills including a state budget system to replace the existing partial framework. It seeks an educational equalization plan to cut property taxes by 100 million over 12 years, funded by higher income and corporate taxes.

Two key measures target a minimum school standard and a tax rate reduction from 25 to 20 cents in school levies, and a graduated income tax above the current exemptions.
