Lawmakers Slow Pace Of Filings In Missouri 1977 Session
Jefferson City Missouri lawmakers slow the pace of incoming measures for the 1977 session as about 700 proposals are processed. By day two only about three dozen were submitted, with some 1,500 expected and under 200 likely to pass to the governor. Proposals include maintaining the 55 mph speed limit, license and title fee hikes, multiyear license plates, and changes to interest rates for small loans. Legislative plans also touch election code revisions and malpractice insurance, with potential focus on legal malpractice given many lawyers in the legislature.
