Missouri lawmakers return to Jefferson City for the final eight weeks of the 2026 session, focusing on crafting a smaller state budget, cutting taxes, and wrapping up key measures before the May 15th deadline. The House dives into its budget version, proposing a four percent drop in general spending, which Democrats worry skimps on fully funding K-12 schools and child care help. Other hot topics include a House-passed resolution to let voters greenlight ditching the state income tax, property tax relief bills with strong bipartisan backing, and a reworked measure on ballot language summaries. The Senate plans a quicker pace on bills like personal property tax cuts, a hemp product ban, and raising rural speed limits to 75 mph.
