Missouri House leaders are hoping to bring representatives back to the Capitol next week to vote on legislation creating new incentives for businesses that hire workers and export products internationally.House Speaker Steven Tilley and Majority Leader Tim Jones confirmed Thursday that majority Republicans plan to meet privately as a caucus next Wednesday to discuss the legislation.
They said a vote of the full House is scheduled for the next day.The House and Senate parted ways acrimoniously last week without agreeing on the details of a job-creation bill that has been the centerpiece of a special legislative session that began Sept. 6. At the time, House leaders said they would not vote on a bill without first reaching a consensus with the Senate, but Senate leaders said there was no point in negotiating further until the House first voted on its own version of an economic development bill previously passed by the Senate.House leaders said  that their new plans for a vote do not mean they have reached a consensus with the Senate. Rather, House leaders said they want to send senators a bill for consideration.
