Missouri House of Representatives

Murray said he received more constituent feedback to vote against an incentive package aimed at keeping the Chiefs and Royals in Kansas City than for any other bill during the session.

The bills now go to Gov. Mike Kehoe, who is expected to sign all of them.

The session had been scheduled to end on Friday. It’s the first time in more than 70 years that the House has adjourned early.

Some legislators in both chambers objected to the move since the House unexpectedly failed to pass the part of the budget funding capital improvement projects across the state last week.

The bill allows requests for an investigation to be submitted by individuals or community groups, not just local governments.

Many House Democrats did not vote for the bill because it contains language that they say could allow campus student groups to legally engage in discriminatory behavior.

With just days remaining in the 2025 legislative session, unfinished Republican priorities include addressing Amendment 3 and Proposition A.

The Missouri House declined to pass one budget bill that contained hundreds of millions of dollars for capital improvement projects across the state.

The legislation contains other tax provisions, including eliminating the state sales tax on diapers and feminine hygiene products.

Senate Bill 71 expands the death benefit for officers killed in the line of duty to $100,000.
