Missouri House of Representatives

If voters pass the resolution, it would bar local governments from adopting ranked-choice voting models. St. Louis municipal elections would not be affected.

Lawmakers approved the original law last session. The fix widens who would be eligible for a property tax freeze.

Lawmakers sent a similar measure to Gov. Mike Parson last year. He vetoed it due to a proposal making it easier for people to get restitution for wrongful convictions and language around expungements.

The Missouri House refused to go to conference and wanted the Senate to adopt a version of the proposal with other provisions that critics call "ballot candy."

After an over 40-hour filibuster on the Senate side on the tax, the House passed it in less than 10 minutes.

The bills seek to regulate — or restrict — provisions around who can vote and how, the way votes are counted and other matters related to election security.

The Federal Reimbursement allowance is set to expire at the end of September. The bill in question would extend the tax through September 2029.

While the Missouri Senate is expected to zero in on a measure making it harder to amend the constitution, the House looks to finish work on reauthorizing a key tax to fund the state’s Medicaid program.

Lawmakers had until 6 p.m. Friday to pass the budget. The final product is roughly $1 billion less than Gov. Mike Parson proposed.

The deadline for the legislature to pass the budget for the upcoming fiscal year is 6 p.m. Friday.
