Senate lays over four House bills after members say language needs work
Summary
House Bills 567, 546, 758 and 958 were laid over for further consideration in the Missouri Senate after senators said key provisions differed from initial concepts and negotiators had not completed compromises.
The Missouri Senate laid over House Bills 567, 546, 758 and 958 for further consideration after senators on the floor said language in the measures needed additional work.
Missouri Senate Minority Floor Leader Doug Beck of Afton said lawmakers had been close to a compromise on the matters "a week ago before the first discussions were ended." An unidentified speaker added that as lawmakers reviewed the documents "some of the things that we thought were conceptually in there are not exactly what we thought, so further discussions will be on those."
The transcript records the four bills as "laid over for further consideration." No formal roll-call votes, motions with named movers or recorded tallies appear in the excerpt.
Reporting from the state capital, Dean Morgan noted the chamber returned to these bills after setting aside House Bill 742 earlier in the sequence.
