Missouri House releases special session schedule

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The Missouri House of Representatives has announced the schedule for its special session next week in Jefferson City.

According to Ben Peters, the director of communications for the House, the special session will begin Monday afternoon and end on Wednesday.

The first two sessions are referred to as 'technical sessions,' which means the House is in session but only to advance legislation on the calendar or other matters that do not require a vote.

Last week, the Missouri Senate approved Senate Bill 3, which clears the way for stadium financing that could keep the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals in Missouri.

It's expected that the House will take up its version of the bill next week.
