Special Session 2022

New members added to a crucial committee at the last minute staved off an early death for part of Gov. Mike Parson’s special session agenda.

Both Senate bills now go to the House. In addition to the special session, the annual veto session ended on Wednesday, with no legislation overridden by lawmakers this year.

The bills the Missouri Senate advanced on Tuesday do contain an income tax cut and a series of agriculture tax credits, but do make significant changes compared to what Gov. Mike Parson initially requested.

The session, called by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, is supposed to center around a permanent income tax cut as well as tax credits for agriculture. However, some lawmakers are filing unrelated bills in hopes of passing them this time around.
