The Missouri House of Representatives will meet on Tuesday to go over and debate some of the bills that were passed during the Senate’s special session.
Committees within the House will begin debating these bills throughout the week. At 11 a.m., the committee for Economic Development will have a public hearing and executive session of Senate Bill 3, which is to incentivize Kansas City sports teams to stay in the state. The bill would also allow for a property tax freeze program for 97 counties in Missouri. Voters in those counties will decide in April 2026 whether or not to institute property tax rate freezes similar to what seniors receive in the state.
SB 3 also offers a $5,000 tax credit in 2025 to people whose homes were damaged in storms.
A budget hearing will begin at 2 p.m. to discuss Senate Bill 1, which the Senate approved for $50 million in funding to the University of Missouri’s Research Reactor. That bill also allows $125 million in storm relief to be allocated towards the St. Louis area and affordable housing relief throughout the state.
On Wednesday, there will be a fiscal review of SB 3 and Senate Bill 4. SB 4 would speed up the process of dispersing funds for emergency aid in the state.
If the House of Representatives approves these bills, the special session will reconvene on June 16.
