SR 86 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies Senate Rule 12 to authorize members of a standing committee of the Senate to elect the chair of the committee

SR 86 modifies Senate Rule 12 to allow members of a Senate standing committee to directly elect their committee chair, rather than having the chair appointed by Senate leadership. This change affects all standing committees within the Senate by shifting the selection process for committee chairs to the committee members themselves. The key provision is the authorization for committee members to vote on and choose their own chair through a direct election. This is a procedural change to internal Senate operations, not a policy affecting the public or specific legislation.
