Missouri Senate lays over House Bills 594 and 508 after more negotiations proposed
Summary
The Missouri Senate paused action Tuesday on two House bills that would eliminate the state's capital gains tax, laying the measures over for further talks after floor discussion and a proposed substitute amendment.
The Missouri Senate on Tuesday laid over House Bills 594 and 508 for further negotiations following floor debate and a proposal to file a substitute amendment.
Both bills would eliminate Missouri's version of the capital gains tax, legislation being handled in the Senate by Senator Curtis Trent of Battlefield, who discussed the measures with Senator Tracy McCurry of St. Louis County, according to floor remarks recorded in the session transcript.
A senator on the floor said more discussion was needed and suggested yielding the floor so a substitute amendment could be filed and used as a baseline for continued negotiations. After a period of discussion and a short recess for lawmakers to confer, the two house bills were laid over for additional talks; no final votes were recorded on the measures during the session.
The transcript notes that after this week there will be six weeks remaining in the 2025 regular legislative session and that the Missouri Senate will shift increasingly to consideration of other house bills. The session reporting in the transcript closes with the byline of Dean Morgan, who identified himself as reporting from the state capitol.
No formal vote totals or amendment text were provided in the transcript excerpt. Specific motion language, mover and seconder, and any formal roll-call were not recorded in the provided transcript and are not specified.
