What to watch for this week at the Missouri Capitol – Missourinet

First and foremost, Wednesday is when Gov. Mike Parson will deliver his final State of the State address to the Missouri Legislature. Parson will tout his accomplishments as the 57th governor and will call on lawmakers to pass certain policy bills.
He will also lay out his wish list of state budget items that he wants lawmakers to pass. It could have a lower price tag than the past couple of years when federal pandemic dollars poured into the state.
Most of the Missouri Senate work will take place at the committee level this week. Ongoing Republican squabbling has brought chamber work to a screeching halt since day one this year. With 2024 being a major election year, the legislative kumbaya moments are expected to be few and far between.
The Missouri Senate Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence Committee is holding public hearings Monday on a variety of criminal justice bills. Senate Bill 861 would ban the clearing of criminal records on some gun crimes and certain sex crimes against children and the elderly. Another public hearing Monday on Senate Bill 887 would raise the age of certification of a child to be tried in court as an adult to the age of 14.
The Missouri Senate Education and Workforce Development Committee is set to hold public hearings Tuesday about bills related to home schooling, virtual instruction, as well as tax credits for private and home schooling. The committee will also hear about a package involving school accreditation, school report cards, school safety plans, as well as a “Parents’ Bill of Rights.”
Another interesting bill worth paying attention to is Senate Bill 782, sponsored by Sen. Jason Bean. His proposal would ban the exporting of Missouri water out-of-state, unless the person holds a water export permit. The Agriculture, Food Production, and Outdoor Resources Committee is holding a hearing Tuesday on the bill.
Meanwhile, the Missouri House of Representatives is moving along. The Special Committee on Education Reform is on tap to hold a public hearing Monday about restricting the salaries of school superintendents.
The Special Committee on Public Policy is scheduled to hold a hearing Tuesday on a bill that would legalize sports betting. House Bill 2331, sponsored by Rep. Dan Houx, is similar to one he led the charge on last year.
Due to the ongoing Senate gridlock over the issue, several Missouri professional sports teams have begun collecting signatures to ask voters to legalize sports gambling.
Across the street from the state Capitol this week will be an important Missouri Supreme Court case – Clara Faatz vs. John (Jay) Ashcroft. The high court will hear a legal challenge Wednesday about the Missouri Senate’s districts.
Every ten years, Missouri redraws its state legislative districts based on the latest federal Census data. After a citizens commission could not agree on a map, a panel of judges instead developed one for the new Senate districts.
Two Missouri citizens are challenging the map, contending that it is unconstitutional. They sued the Secretary of State to prevent the use of the map for any purpose.

‘I Have a Job for These Boys’: Rob Vaughn Explains Lineup Issue in Win Over Missouri

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— When a left fielder catches a fly ball in the first inning of a baseball game, it does not generally turn into a possible harbinger of doom for his team. When Missouri’s Brock Daniels recorded an early putout in Friday’s game, that’s probably not what he expected.
Daniels, though he featured in the number six spot on head coach Kerrick Jackson’s lineup card for game two between the Tigers and No. 18 Alabama Friday, was not on the program’s 30-man roster of eligible players for this particular SEC weekend. Therein was the problem.
This discrepancy was brought to wider attention when he was about to have his first at-bat in the top of the second inning. During a short delay, Crimson Tide head coach Rob Vaughn addressed the issue with the umpiring crew. Simply put, Daniels couldn’t play.
The difficult part of that equation was that he had participated already. In fact, he had not just meandered around in left field during the game’s opening inning. He had tangibly contributed to an out that retired the side, directly affecting the competition.
When that happens, not that it is a common occurrence, possibilities are understandably an object of discussion. The specter of a big one looms, that big one being a forfeit. That is not what came to pass on Friday night. Instead, the visiting Tigers were charged with an out.
“We obviously get those 30-man rosters,” Vaughn said. “Every time there’s a new arm [to] come in, every time there’s anybody new in the lineup, I always go check it. Every team does it a little bit differently. We ended up getting their lineup probably 10 minutes before the plate meeting.”
Vaughn was not critical of the timing, chalking it up to the difference in teams he mentioned. He exchanged lineup cards with Jackson, as is the custom. Vaughn discovered Daniels’ absence from the 30-man just prior to first pitch. Daniels was not in Thursday’s lineup.
“Kerrick is one of my really good friends,” Vaughn said. “It’s just something, that, my job is to put our guys in the best position to win. When I saw it, I went and told our sport supervisor, and I’m like, ‘Hey, I don’t really know what to do in this situation’… I didn’t know if it was a forfeit. I didn’t know if it was an out.”
The league office then advised Vaughn and his staff on the rules, which call for the automatic out. Tigers third baseman Chris Patterson had just notched his team’s first extra-base hit of the series when Daniels was due up; in accordance with the conference’s rule, Daniels was called out.
Patterson still made it to third base, but the second out caused by the administrative error loomed large, since he was eventually stranded 90 feet away from scoring the game’s first run.
“Nobody wants a forfeit. Nobody does,” Vaughn said. “We want to go play that game. We want to go win. We want to go win it on the field the right way. You don’t want to win it on a technicality. So I’m kinda glad that it was an out… I hated to do it. Kerrick’s my guy. I love that dude. But I have a job for these boys. That’s my number one responsibility.”
Alabama (34-10, 11-9 SEC) did win Friday’s game on the field. 7-3, to be exact, in a contest featuring home runs from Kade Snell and Jason Torres. Missouri fell to 0-20 in SEC play and 13-29 overall. The Tigers lost Thursday’s game 7-5, meaning the series has now been decided in advance of Saturday’s 1 p.m. CT finale.
Missouri replaced Daniels with right fielder Pierre Seals and shifted Cayden Nicoletto, who started Thursday and Friday, over to left, where Daniels had been. Seals made the best of the peculiar circumstances with a two-hit game and an RBI.
