Bill Summary · HR 4113

Legislative bill overview

HR 4113 authorizes four Missouri schools—Riverbend Middle School, St. Clair Junior High School, Union Middle School, and Lonedell R-XIV School—to use the Missouri House Chamber on April 17, 2026, for a two-hour period to present Glory Awards to students. The bill has passed committee with unanimous support.

Why is this important

This type of legislation recognizes and celebrates student achievement while providing these schools with a prestigious venue for an awards ceremony. Using the state legislature chamber adds ceremonial significance to the event and demonstrates public recognition of student accomplishments.

Potential points of contention

  • Venue access precedent: Approval could establish expectations for other schools requesting similar chamber access, potentially creating administrative burden or equity concerns about which schools receive this privilege
  • Operational logistics: Using the chamber during a legislative session or near legislative activities could create scheduling conflicts or security/safety management questions
  • Limited scope: The bill is highly specific to these four schools, raising questions about selection criteria and whether other schools with similar programs should have equal access
