Senator Rusty Black of Chillicothe, vice chair of the Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee, told senators the spending plan begins in the House. “Once they are third read and sent over to the senate, the Appropriations Committee will begin our process of of markup and craft our version of the state's budget,” he said on the floor.

The Senate could begin floor consideration of the fiscal 2026 state operating budget as soon as April 22, according to the floor record. By law, the budget must be delivered to the executive branch no later than 6 p.m. on Friday, May 9, a timeline mentioned during the session. Senators emphasized the constitutional nature of the budget process as the legislature's primary mandate.

Senator Mary Elizabeth Coleman of Arnold is the bill sponsor. The bill text discussed on the floor states a school would have to notify parents at least 24 hours before giving students certain types of surveys.

During floor discussion, Senator Maggie Nirenburn of Kansas City told the sponsor she worried the bill could have unintended consequences for teachers and school staff. “But as I shared with you, I don't wanna do anything that's gonna bring additional or any ear that teachers or sponsors may have of additional suit,” she said, expressing concern about increased legal exposure. The bill was set aside for future consideration with no final vote recorded in the floor excerpt.

The transcript does not specify which categories of surveys would be covered or what penalties, if any, the bill would impose; those details were not specified in the floor discussion included in the public record excerpt.","Senate Bill 223, sponsored by Sen.

Senator Curtis Tran of Battlefield handled the bills in the Senate. After a recess for lawmakers to discuss the legislation, senators returned with new language and an amendment offered by Senator Mike Moon of Ash Grove, which was later defeated on the floor.

Senator Brian Williams of University City asked the sponsor to consider withdrawing the amendment so his district could review its potential impact, saying, “The amendment that you're offering will have an impact on my district, and, you know, I haven't had a chance to really work through that. It kinda caught me off guard a little bit. Uh-huh. So I was hoping that you would consider pulling back that amendment and giving us an opportunity to talk about that.” The record shows the Moon amendment was defeated; the bills will next go to a Missouri Senate committee before a final Senate vote.

If the Senate committee approves either measure in committee, the bills could return to the Missouri House of Representatives for final passage or be referred to a conference committee between the two chambers, according to the floor record.

No final Senate passage or bill-specific amendments beyond the defeated Moon amendment were recorded in the floor discussion.","House bills 594 and 508 were laid over for further talks after debate and the defeat of an amendment by Sen.
