Senator Brad Lager (R-12, Maryville) made the motion for the committee to approve further discussion and review of the proposal by the Missouri General Assembly, which was approved by a voice vote of the committee. Two committee members made suggestions for improvements to the legislation which will be made:
- The name will change from the Missouri Economic Development Code to the Missouri Voluntary Developer Agreement Law to more accurately reflect the purpose of the law; and,
- A section stating the new law would override other statutes will be removed.
The 2008 Legislative Session begins January 9.
