The legislature can vote to override the Governor’s veto and pass the bill into law. If the Governor vetoes the bill, however, it will return to the legislature. The Governor may sign the bill into law, or the Governor may take no action, which means that the bill will become law.
If each chamber of the legislature passes the bill, the Governor of Missouri will review it. Each chamber must pass identical versions of the bill. A bill will not reach the next stage unless the differences between these versions are resolved. Sometimes the second chamber will amend the bill and pass a different version of it. If the bill is passed, it will go through the same process in the other chamber. Once the bill has been finalized, the original chamber will vote on whether to pass it. This chamber will discuss the bill and consider any amendments suggested by a committee or by members of the chamber. If a bill passes through the committee phase, it will return to the chamber in which it was introduced. These committees determine whether a bill should move forward, and they also can propose amendments to a bill. After a bill is introduced, it will be referred to one or more standing committees.
The members of each chamber are limited to eight consecutive years in office.Ī proposed law is known as a bill, which can be introduced in either chamber of the Missouri legislature.
The members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms, while the members of the Senate serve four-year terms.
