Votes at a glance: bills taken up and outcomes on the Missouri Senate floor
Summary
During the session the Senate approved multiple measures by voice or recorded count: House Bill 29-34 (consolidation of regional convention/sports authority) and House Bill 24-23 (division of finance substitute) were passed; several senate substitutes were perfected and printed including Senate Bill 15-53 and Senate Bill 11-96.
Key formal outcomes on the Senate floor during this session (as recorded in the transcript):
- House Bill 29-34 (relating to governance and funding of the Regional Convention and Visitors Commission and the Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority): Taken up for third reading and final passage; sponsor explained consolidation into a reconstituted 15-member board; the clerk recorded the bill "having received a constitutional majority" and declared it passed (tally reported in floor remarks: 29 aye, 1 no).
- House Bill 24-23 (Senate substitute relating to the Division of Finance with penalty provisions): Sponsor explained creation of a consumer licensing fund, restored rulemaking authority for payday-lender regulation and cleanup language; substitute and final passage were recorded (tally reported in floor remarks: 29 aye, 0 no).
- Senate Substitute for Senate Bill 15-53 (Missouri Defense and Energy Independence Act): Substitute was adopted, multiple floor amendments (ownership limits, in-state workforce preference, exclusion of firms from designated foreign-adversary nations) were adopted on the floor, and the substitute was declared perfected and ordered printed.
- Senate Bill 11-96 (workforce training and workforce Pell programs): Substitute adopted and declared perfected; sponsor and supporters said the bill aligns state approval processes so Missouri can receive new workforce Pell funds and rapidly approve qualifying short-term programs.
Notes on procedure and tallies: the transcript records explicit tallies for some house bills (e.g., HB29-34 had a recorded constitutional majority; HB24-23 was declared passed with 29-0 per floor comments). For other measures the transcript records adoption and that "the ayes do have it," but a full roll-call tally is not always printed in the excerpt. If you need the official certified vote totals, please consult the Senate journal and the Secretary of the Senate; the journal was noted as approved during the session.
