            Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.


              Heavenly Father, some may take great pride in their work, some in their possessions and others in their accomplishments, but we take pride in the name of the LORD our God. Many collapse and fall in their own strength, but we rise and stand firm in Your strength. O LORD, give us success in our endeavors. May You answer us each time we call.


              Whatever our hands find to do, may we do it with all our strength, trusting always in You. There is no work, planning, knowledge, or wisdom accomplished adequately apart from You.


              May we consider wisely the many bills set before us this day, may the debates be lively but fruitful, and at the end of the day, may we rest with confidence knowing that we have done our best.


              Now may the grace of our Lord rest and abide with each of us throughout this day.


              In the exalted name of Your Son we pray. Amen.


            The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.

House Amendment No. 1


AMEND House Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 468, Page 20, Section 30.860, Line 71, by inserting after all of said line the following:


              Section 1. 1. There is hereby created in the state treasury the "State Treasurer's General Operations Fund" which shall receive deposits, make disbursements and be administered in compliance with the provisions of this section.

              2. Subject to appropriation, moneys in the state treasurer's general operations fund shall be used solely to pay for personal service, equipment and other expenses of the state treasurer related to the state treasurer's constitutional and statutory responsibilities, exclusive of any personal service, equipment and other expenses attributable to positions wholly dedicated to the functions described in chapter 447, RSMo. The commissioner of administration shall review and approve all requests of the state treasurer of disbursements from the state treasurer's general operations fund for compliance with the provisions of this section. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to prevent the general assembly from making appropriations to the state treasurer from other permissible sources.

              3. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, moneys shall be deposited in the state treasurer's general operations fund and administered in accordance with the following provisions:

              (1) On a daily basis, the state treasurer shall apportion any interest or other increment derived from the investment of funds in an amount proportionate to the average daily balance of funds in the state treasury. The state treasurer shall use a method in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in apportioning and distributing that interest or increment. Prior to distributing that interest or increment, the state treasurer shall deduct the costs incurred by the state treasurer in administering this chapter in proportion to the average daily balance of the amounts deposited to each fund in the state treasury. The state treasurer shall then deposit the identified portion of the daily interest receipts in the "State Treasurer's General Operations Fund". All other remaining interest received on the investment of state funds shall be allocated and deposited to funds within the state treasury as required by law.

              (2) The total costs for personal service, equipment and other expenses of the state treasurer related to the state treasurer's constitutional and statutory responsibilities, exclusive of any personal service, equipment and other expenses attributable to positions wholly dedicated to the functions described in chapter 447, RSMo, and any banking fees and other banking-related costs, shall not exceed ten basis points, or one-tenth of one percent, of the total of the average daily fund balance of funds within the state treasury.

              4. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 33.080, RSMo, moneys in the "State Treasurer's General Operations Fund" shall not lapse to the general revenue fund at the end of the biennium unless and only to the extent to which the amount in the fund exceeds the annual appropriations from the fund for the current fiscal year.

              Section B. Because of the need to provide consistent funding to the State Treasurer's Office to allow the office's primary functions to proceed in a timely and efficient manner, section A of this act is deemed necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, welfare, peace and safety, and is hereby declared to be an emergency act within the meaning of the constitution, and section A of this act shall be in full force and effect upon its passage and approval.”; and


              Further amend said bill by amending the title, enacting clause, and intersectional references accordingly.


            Representative Cooper (120) assumed the Chair.


            Representative Johnson (90) offered House Amendment No. 1 to House Amendment No. 1.
