JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe has dozens of decisions waiting for him as the Legislature sent him more than 60 individual items throughout this year’s session.
Many of the bills are omnibus legislation, with several other bills stacked together into one.
While Kehoe’s office said it was thoroughly review all legislation sent to the governor, many pieces of legislation were backed by Kehoe himself. This includes House Bill 567 as well as a tax plan that would eliminate capital gains taxes in Missouri.
The governor has up to 30 days to respond to legislation. If he doesn’t take action, the bill will automatically become law.
Most of the bills on his desk would go into effect on August 28 of this year.
