Missouri SR640 amends Senate Rules 52 and 84 to require that Senate bills reported from any committee, Senate bills reported perfected, house bills reported from committee, Senate bills with house amendments, and conference committee reports lie on the table for one day before being acted upon by the Senate. It also changes the threshold to submit a motion for the previous question to require a written demand of eighteen senators and a vote of a majority of the senators elected.
