Missouri House to Resume Consideration on Legislature Amendments
Missouri House plans to resume consideration of a proposed constitutional amendment to reform legislative operations while the Senate moves toward passage of a bill banning studded tires in 1978. A major criminal code revision and a statewide court system overhaul are also in play as committees begin hearings on bills from the other chamber. The modernization measure seeks to extend session adjournment and reduce February pause days, a step supporters say back to an equal branch of government, while opponents warn of a move toward a full-time legislature.
