Upkeep committee and subcommittees

Tradition in the Missouri General Assembly is that all appropriations bills initiate in the Missouri House rather than the Senate. So each year, the Chair of the House Budget Committee files legislation establishing the spending plan for the state of Missouri. This plan, which in 2007 exceeded $20 billion, may differ greatly from the Governor'due south budget recommendations, issued at the State of the State accost given in late January.

The budget legislation is assigned to the House Budget Commission, which and so assigns each bill to its corresponding subcommittee. After the subcommittee makes its recommendations, the full Budget Committee runs through the entire appropriations packet, makes its desired changes, and sends the beak to the total House for consideration.^[12]
