AI Summary

  • Amends Senate Rule 59 to remove the prohibition on debate when voting on emergency clauses in bills

  • Emergency clause votes currently occur "without debate" after a bill passes with majority support; this resolution strikes that restriction

  • Maintains existing requirement that bills with emergency clauses first receive a majority vote on the bill itself, then a separate two-thirds vote on the emergency clause

  • References Missouri Constitution Article III, Section 29, which governs emergency legislation procedures
