Senate reads bill to appropriate funds to Missouri Housing Trust Fund with emergency clause
Summary
The secretary of the Missouri Senate read Senate Bill 4 on second reading; the bill would appropriate funds to the Missouri Housing Trust Fund for emergency aid and was referred to the Committee on Fiscal Oversight.
During the Senate’s second reading of bills, the secretary read Senate Bill 4, titled as an act to appropriate funds to the Missouri Housing Trust Fund for emergency aid and to include an emergency clause. The secretary referred the bill to the Committee on Fiscal Oversight for further review.
The reading on the Senate floor recorded only the bill title and referral; no floor debate, sponsor remarks or votes on the measure were recorded at that time. Earlier in the session, senators moved the chamber to second reading without objection so the secretary could complete the reading of several bills.
Why it matters: the bill’s presence on the floor signals a request to authorize emergency aid from the Missouri Housing Trust Fund; the emergency clause in the bill title indicates drafters intend immediate effect if enacted, but the Senate record on the floor only shows the reading and referral.
What happens next: the Committee on Fiscal Oversight will consider the bill. The Senate recessed until 11:30 a.m. to allow committees to meet.
