Special session urged for Missouri state reorganization
The Missouri Public Expenditure Survey urged Gov. Bond to call a special legislative session this year to focus on state government reorganization without regular-session distractions. If passed, the reorganization would take effect 90 days after adjournment, shifting to reorganized government before July 1, 1974. The survey criticized the 1973 vetoed bill but praised the revenue and higher education departments' organization. Bond remains undecided, weighing benefits against costs. Central Missouri lawmakers largely oppose a special session, preferring action in the 1974 regular session.
