JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE First Regular Session, 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY __________________________ FOURTH DAY, TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2017 The House met pursuant to adjournment. Speaker Richardson in the Chair. Prayer by Reverend Monsignor Robert A. Kurwicki, Chaplain. Let us follow after the things which make for peace. (Romans 14:19) Eternal God, Our Father, in whom our parents and grandparents trusted and were never let down, bless us this day as we bow before You in loving memory of those who laid down their lives for our country. We thank You for men and women in time past who gave themselves that we might have freedom in our State, and we are grateful for those in time present who are giving themselves that liberty may continue to live in our land and in the world. That these may not have lived and died in vain we pray You to unite our people in one great purpose to preserve the principles of freedom, justice, and goodwill, and by Your grace may we learn to live together in the spirit of true unity. Pour out Your spirit upon us in such measure that we may turn from division to peace, from poverty to plenty, and from hate to love, through Your power and love. And the House says, “Amen!” The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited. The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Kameron Judd, Jacob Simpson, David Cozort, and Jillian Rhoads.

All Eyes Were on the Senate Floor This Week As Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’S Summit) Rose to Rebuke the Senate’S Conservative Caucus
All eyes were on the Senate floor this week as Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’s Summit) rose to rebuke the Senate’s Conservative Caucus. Senator Cierpiot is renowned for a quiet, steady demeanor so his prepared commentary was a surprise to nearly everyone. Several of the conservative caucus members ruffled at Senator Cierpiot’s publicly shared viewpoint and admonished him for taking his grievances to the Senate floor as opposed to handling them privately. The question that remains is whether this interfamily fight will have lasting consequences. Border war The House Economic Development Committee met Monday evening to consider passage of SB 182, sponsored by Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’s Summit). The bill modifies provisions relating to the issuance of certain incentives to businesses relocating from certain counties in Kansas and Missouri. The proposal is in response to what is commonly referred to as the “border war” and will help curb lease jumping and abuse of economic development tools within an eight-county region surrounding Kansas City. During committee discussion, substitute language was adopted to remove Kansas’ Douglas County. Once modified, the committee passed the bill by a 10-0 vote. Transportation bonding The Senate dedicated floor time Monday afternoon to revisit SCR 14, sponsored by Senator Dave Schatz (R-Sullivan). The bonding resolution funds construction and repair of 215 bridges within the state highway system, not to exceed $301,000,000. Bond duration is limited to seven years, which sums to an annual payment of $46,000,000. The deal is contingent upon receiving a grant from the federal government for road and bridge purposes.

Than 100 State Legislators Join Coalition to Oppose Troubling Tobacco Tax Scheme
For Immediate Release: Contact: Ronald J. Leone Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016 573.864.5189 More than 100 state legislators join coalition to oppose troubling tobacco tax scheme. Jefferson City – A large bipartisan coalition of state representatives and senators from across Missouri are encouraging voters to vote “No” on a controversial constitutional amendment that contains several troubling provisions. Today, a total of 19 state senators and 91 state representatives announced their opposition to Amendment 3 and encouraged their constituents to oppose Big Tobacco's scheme. The overwhelming legislative opposition puts the majority of Missouri lawmakers on the same side as many diverse organizations that have come out against Amendment 3 - including groups that historically supported tobacco taxes. “Whether you’re Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal, there is something in Amendment 3 for everyone and every group not to like,” said Ronald J. Leone, Executive Director of the Missouri Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association (MPCA). Missouri State Senators Opposing Amendment 3 Sen. Dan Brown, R-Rolla Sen.
