First Regular Session, 94th General Assembly
SIXTY-FIRST DAY, Monday, April 23, 2007
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Jetton in the Chair.
Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.
LORD GOD, we are grateful that our prayers do not fall on deaf ears. You hear us as we call upon You in truth. You are mindful of us.
Your word instructs us that a nation without Your guidance is a nation without order, a nation unrestrained. Blessed are those who heed Your statutes!
For You, LORD, grant wisdom! From Your mouth comes knowledge and understanding. You grant a treasure of common sense to the honest. You are a shield to those who walk with integrity. You guard the path of the just and protect those who are faithful.
We, then, understand what is right, just, and fair, and seek the right path to go. You fill our hearts with wisdom and Your knowledge fills us with joy. We, then, operate wisely, and Your revealed knowledge will give us contentment.
Protect us from the snare of earthly perfectionism and the trap of self-complacency as we seek to do what is good and right for this state.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with us all. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
The Journal of the sixtieth day was approved as printed.

CORRECTION TO THE HOUSE JOURNAL
Correct House Journal, Fifty-second Day, Thursday, April 5, 2007, Page 1011, Line 31, by inserting immediately after said line the following:
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 49
AN ACT
Relating to the St. Louis schools board of education
WHEREAS, because the Missouri Constitution states that a general diffusion of knowledge and intellect is necessary to preserve the rights and liberties of the people, and this finding places a solemn obligation upon the General Assembly to support education; and
WHEREAS, the Missouri General Assembly, in an effort to serve and protect the best interests of the students, teachers, staff, and taxpayers of the City of St. Louis Public School District and the taxpayers of the State of Missouri and to protect the financial assets of the St. Louis Public Schools, believes that principles should be in place to guide the upcoming transition of authority; and
WHEREAS, the Missouri General Assembly believes that the best interests are served if the Assembly acts to ensure the smoothest possible transition in governance in the interim period before the special advisory board for the City of St. Louis Public Schools under Section 162.1100, RSMo, assumes the powers of the St. Louis Public Schools Board of Education on June 15, 2007:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the members of the House of Representatives of the Ninety-fourth General Assembly, First Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, hereby encourage the current St. Louis Public Schools Board of Education and any members-elect of the board to do everything within their power to assure a smooth transition and to refrain from taking any action or position that would work to the detriment of the academic achievement of the district's children or would worsen the district's financial position; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution be sent to the Governor for his approval or rejection pursuant to the Missouri Constitution.
