Bill > SB1470

This bill modifies the duties and functions of the Joint Committee on Legislative Research, a body that assists the Missouri General Assembly. It updates how laws and resolutions are published, allowing for web-based electronic formats in addition to printed copies, and clarifies that the Revisor of Statutes will attest to the accuracy of these publications. The bill also adjusts the distribution of printed laws, directing the Revisor of Statutes to distribute them according to existing law rather than listing specific recipients. It allows for the sale of laws and resolutions at cost, with proceeds going to the statutory revision fund, and clarifies that supplements to the Revised Statutes of Missouri can be printed without a concurrent resolution from the General Assembly, with costs potentially covered by the statutory revision fund if no specific appropriation is made. The bill also expands the committee's drafting services to include revision bills and resolutions directly related to its duties, and changes the committee's organizational meeting timeline, leadership alternation between the House and Senate, and meeting frequency, moving from quarterly to at least twice a year.
