On Wednesday, the State of Missouri formally began the 2026 legislative session. Hundreds of bills have already been filed in both the House and the Senate, setting the stage for a busy session.
Republicans are expected to push an end to the state’s income tax—a priority of Gov. Mike Kehoe—while Democrats have vowed to fight such a measure. The General Assembly is also expected to once again try to address the lack of affordable childcare in the state.
Be on the lookout for more information from the MCC as bills begin to be heard.
