As we enter into the final weeks of the legislative session, there is still much to get done. A lot of this time will be used to pass a budget for Fiscal Year 2023, which is the General Assembly’s only constitutional obligation.

In addition, Senate Bill 1128 was heard by the Missouri Senate Local Government and Elections Committee, which I chair. This measure would reform provisions relating to the compensation of county coroners. I look forward to my proposal moving forward and making its way to the governor’s desk before session ends in May.
