Missouri’s governor says the only special session he plans to call this year at this point involves congressional redistricting, which is required because of the new U.S. Census data.

Governor Mike Parson tells Capitol reporters that he currently has 13 requests for special sessions, on his desk.
“The legislators have not even been out two to three weeks and we’ve already got 13 requests, which is not even practical to think that you’re going to be able to do that on taxpayer dollars. Most of the items we’re talking about have already (been) discussed in the legislative session, just didn’t get across the finish line,” Parson says.

JEFFERSON CITY â The state budget is flush with cash, and lawmakers put it to use today. Members of the House and Senate came together to hammer out discrepancies in the $34 billion state budget.
The proposed budget, hammered out by a conference committee Wednesday, includes funding for many one-time projects, including improvements to the Capitol building.
âWe accomplished a lot of thingsâ in the budget proposal, Senate Appropriations Chair Dan Hegeman, R-Cosby, said. Much of the reason for that success is the billions in additional federal funding that Missouri has received through pandemic relief. Hegeman also gave credit to Gov. Mike Parsonâs handling of the state economy.
