Other legislation that could be considered in the last week of the 2026 session includes a wide-reaching education bill and measures to limit vehicle inspections and raise the rural highway speed limit.

Included in the budget is $4.2 billion for the K-12 public school foundation formula, more than $376 million in school transportation funding and $60 million for the state's private school voucher program.

The resolution now goes back to the Missouri House. If the House passes the Senate version, it will appear on a ballot in a future election.

The bill contains many provisions, including expanding the no-excuse absentee voting period.
