moves to the Senate
JEFFERSON CITY -
INVEST
IN MISSOURI
passed the Missouri House of Representatives unanimously today 150-0. The passage of the bill, HB 883, puts State Treasurer Clint Zweifel's plan to create and retain jobs and reinvest $1 billion in Missouri communities one step closer to law. Similar
legislation, SB 542, has already passed the Senate unanimously, and is
expected to be heard by the full House next week.
"Rebuilding our economy and putting Missourians back to work are my priorities. This legislation does
that by expanding the
Missouri Linked Deposit Program and reinvesting in
our community banks," Treasurer Zweifel said.INVEST
IN MISSOURI
is finding great bipartisan support, and I thank Rep. Tim Flook for his sponsorship."
The Missouri Bankers' Association and Missouri Independent Bankers' Association are also supporters of
the legislation.
