SR 647 Missouri Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies Senate Rule 8 regarding the absence of a quorum

This bill proposes a change to Senate Rule 8, which governs how the Senate determines whether enough members are present to conduct business. Specifically, it addresses the procedures used when a quorum, or the required number of voting members, is not present in the chamber. The legislation aims to modify the existing rules to clarify or adjust the process for handling situations where a quorum is absent. This change would directly affect the Senate's internal operations and its ability to pass legislation or hold hearings.
