The measure, Gregory told colleagues, would create tax credits for certain engineering degrees and is modeled on language used in the state of Oklahoma. Gregory handled the bill because Brown was unable to be at the Capitol.
Missouri Senate Minority Floor Leader Doug Beck of Afton raised concerns during the discussion about charter schools, asking what happens to public funds and property when a charter school fails. "What happens to all their funds, all their properties, all the things that the taxpayers pay for? Where does that all go? You know what? Nobody can answer that question," Beck said.
After those remarks and brief discussion, Senate Bill 190 was set aside for future consideration; no formal vote on passage or referral was recorded in the provided excerpt.
The exchange came as Missouri senators concluded 11 weeks of the legislative session. Lawmakers have about seven weeks remaining in the session, during which they are scheduled to consider the 13 bills that make up the fiscal year 2026 state operating budget.
