Summary

Representatives asked to use the House Chamber for community events — the Glory of Missouri awards, the Emerging Leaders Youth Conference and the Silver Haired Legislature — and the committee approved the requests during the public hearing with no opposition.

Representative Kim Smith asked the Committee on Consent and House Procedural for permission to use the House Chamber for the second annual "Glory of Missouri" awards, saying the ceremony gives students from North St. Louis County a chance to see the legislative process and experience the capitol.

Representative Yolanda Fountain Henderson requested that the Missouri Legislative Black Caucus be allowed to use the House Chamber on June 22, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for an Emerging Leaders Youth Conference aimed at educating youth about state government. Representative Hovis and other committee members noted the group had used the chamber in prior years and is familiar with the rules.

Representative Hovis presented a resolution to permit the Silver Haired Legislature to use the chamber on Oct. 14, 2026. Committee members asked logistical questions and confirmed prior participation by the sponsoring groups. The committee recorded "do pass" roll-call votes for the chamber-use resolutions, with no members voting against the motions recorded in the transcript.
