Bill > HB1605

This bill renames the Missouri State Fair to the "Bishop Davidson Fair" by amending Section 262.220 of the Missouri Revised Statutes. The legislation maintains the original purpose of the state fair, which is to promote agricultural, horticultural, mechanical, mineral, livestock production, and other industrial interests of Missouri. The fair will continue to be held annually in Sedalia, Missouri, and will remain under the control of the state fair commission. The bill does not change any other operational aspects of the fair, such as its management, location, or core mission, but simply updates its official name to honor Bishop Davidson, though the bill text does not provide details about who Bishop Davidson was or why they are being honored with this naming.
