Senate receives House messages on multiple measures, adjourns until May 28

The Missouri Senate convened and received formal messages from the House of Representatives reporting passage or adoption of several measures, the chamber’s chief clerk announced. Joseph Angler read the House messages aloud, naming a series of bills and committee substitutes that the House had taken up and passed.

Angler read that the House "has taken up and adopted Senate substitute for Senate committee substitute for House Bill 28 96," and that it "has taken up and passed Senate Bill 10 67." He also reported the House had acted on a "Senate substitute for Senate committee substitute for Senate Bill 8 90," and had taken up and passed "Senate substitute number 2 for Senate committee substitute for House Committee substitute for House Bill 22 92 as amended." The clerk further reported the House had taken up and passed "Senate substitute for Senate committee substitute for House Bill 16 96 as amended" and had taken up and passed "Senate committee substitute for House Committee substitute for House Bill 24 74 as amended." Respectfully submitted, Joseph Angler, chief clerk, the messages concluded.

After the clerk finished reading, the presiding officer moved that the Senate "stand adjourn[ed] until Thursday, 05/28/2026 at 01:00." The chamber voted by voice; members responded "Aye," and the presiding officer declared the ayes carried. The Senate adjourned until the date and time announced.

Why it matters: Messages between the two chambers formally notify each other of actions taken and can trigger follow-up steps such as enrolling measures, scheduling further consideration, or updating legislative calendars. This session involved no floor debate or roll-call votes on the measures read; the only formal Senate action recorded was the adjournment motion, which passed by voice vote.

What’s next: The Senate is scheduled to reconvene on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., according to the adjournment motion.
