Committee votes: House Bill 207 and House Bill 224 advance from General Laws

The Missouri House Committee on General Laws voted in executive session to report two bills as "do pass." House Bill 207 was reported do pass with a recorded lone opposition; House Bill 224 was reported do pass unanimously.

Committee leadership moved both measures during an executive-session roll call. The clerk announced that House Bill 207 carried by a recorded margin the committee clerk summarized as a majority approval with one dissent; the transcript records a single "no" vote during that roll call.

Both measures were taken up in executive session rather than public hearing time. No text changes or amendments were recorded on the public transcript at the time of the votes. Committee members discussed neither bill on the public record during the roll calls captured in the transcript; further debate and committee action may follow in later meetings or on the House floor.
