Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.
Gracious, Heavenly Father, Your Word declares, "People can get many good things by the words they say. The work of their hands also gives them many benefits." So may the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable unto You this day. May the work of our hands reap great benefits for this state.
Teach us Your ways that we may live according to Your truth! Grant us pure motives, that we may honor You.
Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are; help us to spend them, as we should.
May Your blessings be with us. Grant us success in all we do!
In the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.

HB 1380 - Education
MESSAGES FROM THE SENATE
Madam Speaker: I am instructed by the Senate to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate has taken up and passed HCR 5.
Madam Speaker: I am instructed by the Senate to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate has taken up and adopted SCR 25.
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 25
WHEREAS, the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) of the federal Social Security Act penalize people who have dedicated their lives to public service by taking away benefits they have earned; and
WHEREAS, nine out of ten public employees affected by the GPO lose their entire spousal benefit, even though their spouse paid Social Security taxes for many years; and
WHEREAS, the WEP causes hard-working people to lose up to sixty percent of the benefits they earned themselves; and
WHEREAS, many workers rely on misleading Social Security Administration statements that fail to take into account the GPO and WEP when projecting benefits; and
WHEREAS, the impact of the GPO and WEP is not just felt in those states in which public employees, including educators, are not covered by Social Security, because people move from state to state and affected individuals are everywhere; and
WHEREAS, the GPO and WEP apply to all vested members of the Public School Retirement System of Missouri; and
WHEREAS, the number of people affected across the country is growing every day as more and more people reach retirement age; and
WHEREAS, some 300,000 individuals lose an average of $3,600 a year due to the GPO; and
WHEREAS, this amount can make the difference between self-sufficiency and poverty; and
WHEREAS, these people have less money to spend in their local economy and sometimes have to turn to expensive government programs like food stamps to make ends meet; and
WHEREAS, during a national teacher shortage, the GPO and WEP discourage people from entering and staying in the teaching profession, since doing so will mean a loss of earned Social Security benefits; and
WHEREAS, the GPO and WEP are also causing current educators to leave the profession and students to choose courses of study other than education; and
WHEREAS, non-Social Security states are finding it increasingly difficult to attract quality educators as more people learn about the GPO and WEP; and
WHEREAS, the nation should respect, not penalize, public service; and
WHEREAS, the GPO and WEP are established in federal law and repeal of the GPO and WEP can only be enacted by the United States Congress:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the members of the Missouri Senate, Ninety-Second General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the House of Representatives concurring therein, hereby urge the Congress of the United States to immediately repeal the Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination Provision of the Social Security Act; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Missouri Senate be instructed to prepare properly inscribed copies of this resolution for the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and the members of the Missouri Congressional delegation.
In which the concurrence of the House is respectfully requested.
Madam Speaker: I am instructed by the Senate to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate has taken up and passed SS SCR 26, entitled:
SENATE SUBSTITUTE
FOR
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 26
Relating to the Forestry Utilization Committee.
WHEREAS, the forestry industry is a vital industry to Missouri, representing over fourteen million acres of Missouri timberland, which ranks our state seventh out of the twenty northeastern timber states, supports the bulk of Missouri recreation and tourism, directly provides thousands of jobs and supports tens of thousands of jobs where forest land and products are a vital component, directly generates three billion dollars of revenue, and indirectly supports the generation of many more billions of dollars in revenue; and
WHEREAS, the General Assembly wishes to maintain and enhance the positive economic contribution of this industry while making every attempt to minimize environmental harm and other negative aspects of the industry; and
WHEREAS, the industries' current practice of harvesting sixty percent of the tree, and its predominant production of low value-added products, limits the potential economic contribution to industry participants and to the state; and
WHEREAS, there exists a need for a study of the potential for increased industrial strength and rural economic gains to be realized by forestry adopting modern industrial business models and value-added techniques:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the members of the Missouri Senate, Ninety-Second General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the House of Representatives concurring therein, hereby authorize the creation of a "Forestry Utilization Committee", which shall review and evaluate both the industrial and economic impact of forestry utilization and make recommendations on further action or legislative remedies, if any, to be taken as necessary; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such committee shall be composed of twenty-three members, one member to be a member of the Missouri Senate to be appointed by the President Pro Tem of the Senate, one member to be a member of the Missouri House of Representatives to be appointed by the Speaker of the House, two county commissioners appointed by the Missouri Association of Counties, two forest landowners representing small forestry holdings with owners of less than two hundred acres of timber and two representatives of large forestry holdings with greater than two hundred acres of timber, both to be appointed by the Missouri Farm Bureau, a representative from the Resource Conservation and Development Councils, a representative from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Energy Center, a representative from the Missouri Enterprise Business Assistance Center, a representative of the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service's North Central Forest Experimental Station, a representative of the University of Missouri's School of Natural Resources, a representative of the Society of American Foresters, a representative from the Missouri Department of Conservation's Division of Forestry, a representative of the Missouri Forest Products Association, a representative of the Missouri Department of Agriculture's Business Development Division, two representatives of a large-volume active sawmill and two representatives of a small-volume active sawmill appointed by the Missouri Forest Products Association, a representative of the School of Agricultural Sciences at Southwest Missouri State University and a representative of the Department of Agriculture, School of Polytechnic Studies at Southeast Missouri State University. Each member of the committee shall serve until December 31, 2005. A chairman, vice-chairman, and secretary shall be elected by the membership of the committee to conduct the business of the committee; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee may conduct its business by various means but shall meet no less than twice each year as a full committee; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all state agencies shall cooperate with the committee in carrying out its duties, including allowing access to closed records, provided that the committee shall not disclose any identifying information contained in such records closed pursuant to statute or general order, and any such information in the custody of the committee shall not be discoverable to the same extent as when in the custody of the parent agency; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all members shall serve without compensation; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Office of Administration shall provide minimal funding, administrative support, and staff for the effective operation of the committee; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall study problems and solutions, collect information, and provide recommendations in a report to the General Assembly before July 30, 2005; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall submit its final report to the General Assembly no later than December 31, 2005; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Forestry Utilization Committee shall terminate December 31, 2005; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Missouri Senate be instructed to prepare properly inscribed copies of this resolution for the Governor for his approval or rejection pursuant to the Missouri Constitution.
In which the concurrence of the House is respectfully requested.
Madam Speaker: I am instructed by the Senate to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate has taken up and adopted SCR 33.
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 33
WHEREAS, for many years, residents in the greater St. Louis area enjoyed regular airline service by TWA to and from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA); and
WHEREAS, St. Louis is a large market, with over 2.6 million people in the St. Louis Metropolitan Statistical Area, and for the year 2003, the St. Louis-Washington market (not including BWI) ranked 13th among Washington destinations inside the 1,250-mile perimeter with 243,302 passengers; and
WHEREAS, because TWA was the dominant airline in St. Louis, fares were relatively high, especially for business travelers who often traveled on a few days' notice. When American Airlines acquired TWA several years ago, they significantly reduced their presence in St. Louis and service to Washington, D.C. has suffered as a result; and
WHEREAS, American Airlines now operates its DCA to STL services using regional jets with a seating capacity of 50 or less seats, United Airlines operates three daily roundtrips using regional jets between St. Louis and Dulles, and Southwest Airlines only flies to BWI, not to DCA or Dulles; and
WHEREAS, with such a lack of competition for flights to Washington, D.C., Primaris, a new entrant airline, would introduce competition in the market served currently only by American Airlines; and
WHEREAS, Primaris proposes to operate a twice-daily premium service between STL and DCA using Boeing 757 aircraft with 126-seat capacity in a two-by-two configuration for passenger comfort; and
WHEREAS, Primaris will provide this premium service which is equal to or better than the current business class service and will offer fares significantly lower than most coach class fares of American Airlines' commuter affiliates that now conduct DCA-STL operations; and
WHEREAS, while recognizing that the United States Congress has given the federal Department of Transportation authority to grant only a few slot exemptions, given the size of the St. Louis market and the current lack of competition on the DCA-STL route, approval of Primaris Airlines' application is strongly recommended to serve the St. Louis-Washington, D.C. market:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the members of the Senate of the Ninety-second General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the House of Representatives concurring therein, hereby urge the United States Department of Transportation to grant approval to Primaris Airlines' application in Docket OST 2000-7182 for the operation of twice-daily service between Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (STL); and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Missouri Senate be instructed to prepare a properly inscribed copies of this resolution for the Honorable Norman Y. Mineta, Secretary of Transportation, and each member of the Missouri Congressional Delegation.
In which the concurrence of the House is respectfully requested.
Madam Speaker: I am instructed by the Senate to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate has taken up and passed SB 739, entitled:
An act to amend chapter 640, RSMo, by adding thereto four new sections relating to environmental regulation.
In which the concurrence of the House is respectfully requested.
