It provides for standardized proceedings, so that both court-ordered and non court-ordered mediation are entitled to the same confidentiality status. Status: Signed by Governor, June 10, 2004 1. Introduction Confidentiality in mediation communications is an issue of vital importance to all those involved. The assurance of confidentiality in mediation proceedings promotes openness and candor between the parties. Often, it is openness that will lead parties to a resolution of a dispute. With the passage of Senate Bill 1970 the Florida legislature has recognized the importance that confidentiality protections play in the encouragement of successful mediations.

  • Prayer Practices
    Floor Action 5-145 Prayer Practices Legislatures operate with a certain element of pomp, ceremony and procedure that flavor the institution with a unique air of tradition and theatre. The mystique of the opening ceremonies and rituals help to bring order and dignity to the proceedings. One of these opening ceremonies is the offering of a prayer. Use of legislative prayer. The practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer is long- standing. The custom draws its roots from both houses of the British Parliament, which, according to noted parliamentarian Luther Cushing, from time ”immemorial” began each day with a “reading of the prayers.” In the United States, this custom has continued without interruption at the federal level since the first Congress under the Constitution (1789) and for more than a century in many states. Almost all state legislatures still use an opening prayer as part of their tradition and procedure (see table 02-5.50). In the Massachusetts Senate, a prayer is offered at the beginning of floor sessions for special occasions. Although the use of an opening prayer is standard practice, the timing of when the prayer occurs varies (see table 02-5.51). In the majority of legislative bodies, the prayer is offered after the floor session is called to order, but before the opening roll call is taken. Prayers sometimes are given before floor sessions are officially called to order; this is true in the Colorado House, Nebraska Senate and Ohio House. Many chambers vary on who delivers the prayer. Forty-seven chambers allow people other than the designated legislative chaplain or a visiting chaplain to offer the opening prayer (see table 02-5.52).

With only three months remaining in the fiscal year, the budget situation remains a concern, and the available remedies are límited. The House completed its work this week on their recommendations for the FY 2020 budget. This week's report focuses so/ne attention on l'ssues brought forward by initiative petitions that could end up before the voters in the 2020 ballot cycle, and some thoughts brought forth on changing that process. BAD NEWS REGARDING REPRESENTATIVE REBECCA ROEBER 1 The news began circulating around the Missouri Capitol on Monday afternoon that Representative Rebecca Roeber was involved in a serious automobile accident as she was driving Highway 50 from her Lee's Summit home to Jefferson City for the legislative session on Monday. On Tuesday morning news reports indicated that Representative Roeber was in critical condition at University Hospital in Columbia as a result of the accident. Later in the week in published repods her status was upgraded to serious. On a posting on Facebook, a note from her husband stated that she had initial surgery on serious damage to her legs, and from the posting it is apparent that she will have multiple more surgeries for other broken bones. At the Wednesday hearing of the House Education Committee, which Representative Roeber has chaired, it was noted that Representative Curtis Trent had been appointed by Speaker Elijah Haahr to the committee to fill the open spot on the committee (but not the position of Chai$ as Roeber will not return to her Committee this legislative session.

Carroll & Associates Legislative Consultants-Lobbyists-Attorneys at Law 215 East Capitol Avenue Jefferson City, Missouri 65101 Phone: 573-761-5952 Fax: 573-761-7490 Missouri General Assembly Legislative End of Session Update Cooperative School Districts of Greater Kansas City May 18, 2020 The historical 2020 legislative session now belongs to the ages. In many ways this legislative session could have been titled “the session of the unknowns.” It has been 102 years since a legislative session had to deal with a pandemic. Not since the legislative session during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic has witnessed so many uncertainties. I started my fifth decade of being involved in state government this session. Over the years I have witnessed a lot, but never a session quite like this because of the coronavirus. The legislature lost six weeks of the session while they were temporarily shut down. When the legislators came back to finish the session, it was as if they were chasing a runaway roller coaster. In all my years I have never seen so many large omnibus bills being drafted and trying to get passed. The House alone took 26 non-controversial Senate bills and turned them into huge multi-issue bills in the hundreds of pages. Almost all of these massive bills were defeated in the final days of the session. In addition, for the first time that I know of, the Senate reconsidered a truly agreed to and finally passed bill and overturned it. This bill, HB 1862, was a conference committee report and included the Speaker of the House’s priority issue, which was to take away eminent domain from the Grain Belt Energy Group.
