JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri's special legislative session has stalled at a convenient time for some of staff at the state Capitol.
Lawmakers do not plan any votes or debate this week because House and Senate leaders remain at odds over a bill that would revamp many of Missouri's existing tax credits and create new incentives for businesses.
Some of the administrative staff members who help run the two chambers are gone this week, too. That's because the American Society of Legislative Clerks and Secretaries is hosting its annual fall seminar in Branson.
Registration for the conference is starting Tuesday, and sessions run from Wednesday through Sunday.
An agenda for the meeting lists Terry Spieler, the secretary of the Missouri Senate, as the organization's president.
