Convenes a joint session to receive a message from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Missouri
This resolution directs Missouri's House and Senate to hold a joint meeting on February 26, 2025, to formally receive a message from Chief Justice Mary Rhodes Russell of the Missouri Supreme Court. It specifies that committees of 10 members from each chamber will escort the Chief Justice to the session and inform her the legislature is organized and ready for business. As a procedural resolution, it does not create new laws or affect policies - it solely governs the ceremonial meeting between the legislative and judicial branches. The bill's sole purpose is to facilitate this official communication between the branches of state government.
