The bill repeals and replaces Section 21.110 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, detailing the process for special elections to fill vacancies in the General Assembly. If the governor receives a resignation, notice of vacancy, or confirmation of a member's death during a recess, they must promptly issue a writ of election. This election must occur at least fifty days but no more than six months after the governor receives the resignation or notice of vacancy.
