Missouri 2026 Regular Session

General Laws Feb 4th, 2026

Senate General Laws Committee

Key Moments

  • Curtis Trent — Curtis Trent is briefly addressed in consecutive remarks where the speaker thanks the chair and says 'Mr. Chair,' including a repeated/overlapping reference around the roll call. The mentions do not introduce a new topic and reflect the same short exchange.
  • Tracy McCreery — Tracy McCreery explained that she has historically opposed the bill because of concerns about how costs and responsibilities are allocated between municipalities and providers, especially when municipalities may later change traffic or routing decisions that increase costs for providers and consumers. She said she wants a fair balance and criticized the lack of good-faith negotiation by some municipalities, but despite her reservations she would vote yes on the bill today to keep the conversation going and encourage further negotiations. She urged the parties to work out an amendment before the bill reaches the House floor.
