Senate rules committee certifies substitutes for SB4 and SB40; SB4 substitute referred to fiscal oversight
Summary
The Missouri Senate’s Committee on Rules reported that two Senate substitutes — Senate Substitute 2 for Senate Bill 4 and the substitute for Senate Bill 40 — were perfected and printed correctly. A senator asked that the SB4 substitute be referred to the fiscal oversight committee, and the Senate adjourned until Feb. 24 at 4 p.m.
During a Missouri Senate floor session, the Committee on Rules, Joint Rules, Resolutions and Ethics reported that two Senate substitutes were “truly perfected” and that printed copies furnished to senators were correct, and the Senate approved a referral of one substitute to the fiscal oversight committee before adjourning.
Senator Luke Demeyer, chair of the Committee on Rules, Joint Rules, Resolutions and Ethics, told the Senate that the committee “finds that the bill has been truly perfected and that the printed copies furnished to senators are correct” with respect to Senate Substitute 2 for Senate Bill 4 and likewise for the substitute for Senate Bill 40.
The committee report, delivered by Demeyer, certified that the printed versions of both substitutes were correct. The certification is a routine committee step that forwards bills for further consideration by the full Senate or by other committees.
Shortly after the committee report, the senator identified in the transcript as the Senator from Shelby asked, “Can you please refer Senate Substitute 2 for Senate Bill number 4 to fiscal oversight?” The presiding officer replied, “That shall be referred,” and the referral was recorded on the floor.
Later in the session, the senator identified in the transcript as the Senator from Platt moved that the Senate stand adjourned until Monday, February 24, at 4 p.m. The presiding officer conducted a voice vote; “the ayes do have it,” and the Senate adjourned to that date and time.
No roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the transcript for the referral or the adjournment motion, and no further debate or amendments on the two substitutes were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
The transcript did not include bill text, fiscal notes, committee amendments, or dates for subsequent committee hearings. The precise subject matter of Senate Bill 4 and Senate Bill 40 was not specified in the provided transcript excerpt.
