Journal of the Senate

SECOND REGULAR SESSION

TWENTY-SEVENTH DAY--MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2002

Senator Klarich in the Chair.

Reverend Carl Gauck offered the following prayer:

"I do not see why there is not greater enthusiasm for planning, except perhaps for this reason: that the word planning does not signify anything very spectacular about it and it takes a good many years to see results from it." (Franklin D. Roosevelt, April 24, 1934)

Gracious Lord, let us be mindful and thankful for the time You have given us to plan and make good use of this week here which we begin anew today. Help us to organize our activities so all the really important things, from the smallest details to the people we encounter each day, are not overlooked and we fully utilize our time for the greatest good. In Your Holy Name we pray. Amen.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was recited.

SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1109

WHEREAS, we, the members of the Missouri Senate, regard early intervention literacy programs as essential in meeting the needs of our state's young children; and

WHEREAS, Reading Recovery and early literacy programs provide children who potentially may become poor readers the vital assistance needed to become successful readers; and

WHEREAS, the Reading First Program is one of the new funding sources in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) passed by the U.S. Congress in December of 2001; and

WHEREAS, the U.S. Department of Education is responsible for administering the Reading First Program and recently issued "Reading First Draft Guidance 2/1/02" for implementation of the Program; and

WHEREAS, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) authorizes Reading First funds for instruction in both classroom and nonclassroom settings, the draft guidelines limit funding to classroom use only; and

WHEREAS, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) does not mandate a format base on time for providing reading instruction, the draft guidelines provide for uninterrupted 90-minute instruction periods per day; and

WHEREAS, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) permits states to use funding for professional development in early intervention, the draft guidelines removes professional development as eligible use of Reading First funds; and

WHEREAS, the proposed draft guidelines jeopardize use of Reading First Funds for early intervention of low achieving readers and potentially undermines state and local school decisions about early intervention reading programs:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Missouri Senate, Ninety-first General Assembly, Second Regular Session, recognize the significance of early intervention for young struggling readers and urge Congress to instruct the Department of Education to fully fund literacy programs as provided by "Reading First" legislation; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Missouri Senate be instructed to prepare properly inscribed copies of this resolution for every member of the Missouri Congressional Delegation.

"30.260. 1. The state treasurer shall prepare, maintain, and adhere to a written investment policy which shall include an asset allocation plan which limits the total amount of state moneys which may be invested in any particular investment authorized by section 15, article IV of the Missouri Constitution. The state treasurer shall present a copy of such policy to the governor, commissioner of administration, state auditor, and general assembly at the commencement of each regular session of the general assembly or at any time the written investment policy is amended.

2. The state treasurer shall determine by the exercise of the treasurer's best judgment the amount of state moneys that are not needed for current operating expenses of the state government, and shall keep on demand deposit in banking institutions in this state selected by the treasurer and approved by the governor and state auditor the amount of state moneys which the treasurer has so determined are needed for current operating expenses of the state government and disburse the same as authorized by law.

3. Within the parameters of the state treasurer's written investment policy, the state treasurer shall place the state moneys which the treasurer has determined are not needed for current operations of the state government on time deposit drawing interest in banking institutions in this state selected by the treasurer and approved by the governor and the state auditor, or place them outright or, if applicable, by repurchase agreement in obligations described in section 15, article IV, Constitution of Missouri, as the treasurer in the exercise of the treasurer's best judgment determines to be in the best overall interest of the people of the state of Missouri, giving due consideration to:

(1) The preservation of such state moneys;

(2) The liquidity needs of the state;

(3) The comparative yield to be derived therefrom;

(4) The effect upon the economy and welfare of the people of Missouri of the removal or withholding from banking institutions in the state of all or some such state moneys and investing same in obligations authorized in section 15, article IV of the Missouri Constitution; and

(5) All other factors which to the treasurer as a prudent state treasurer seem to be relevant to the general public welfare in the light of the circumstances at the time prevailing. The state treasurer may also place state moneys which are determined not needed for current operations of the state government in linked deposits as provided in sections 30.750 to 30.767.

4. Except for state moneys deposited in linked deposits as provided in sections 30.750 to 30.767, the rate of interest payable by all banking institutions on time deposits of state moneys shall be at least the same as the average rate paid during the week next preceding the week in which the deposit was made for United States of America treasury securities maturing and becoming payable closest to the time of termination of the deposit, as determined by the state treasurer, adjusted to the nearest one-tenth of a percent; except that the rate shall never exceed the maximum rate of interest which by federal law or regulation a bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System may from time to time pay on a time deposit of the same size and maturity.

5. Within the parameters of the state treasurer's written investment policy, the state treasurer may subscribe for or purchase outright, or [by] through repurchase agreement, local government investment pool or money market mutual fund as defined and regulated in Rule 2a-7 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, make investments of the character described in subsection 3 of this section which the treasurer, in the exercise of the treasurer's best judgment, believes to be the best for investment of state moneys at the time and in payment therefor may withdraw moneys from any bank account, demand or time, maintained by the treasurer without having any supporting warrant of the commissioner of administration. The state treasurer may bid on subscriptions for such obligations in accordance with the treasurer's best judgment. The state treasurer shall provide for the safekeeping of all such obligations so acquired in the same manner that securities pledged to secure the repayment of state moneys deposited in banking institutions are kept by the treasurer pursuant to law. The state treasurer may hold any such obligation so acquired by the treasurer until its maturity or prior thereto may sell the same outright or by reverse repurchase agreement provided the state's security interest in the underlying security is perfected or temporarily exchange such obligation for cash or other authorized securities of at least equal market value with no maturity more than one year beyond the maturity of any of the traded obligations, for a negotiated fee as the treasurer, in the exercise of the treasurer's best judgment, deems necessary or advisable for the best interest of the people of the state of Missouri in the light of the circumstances at the time prevailing. The state treasurer may pay all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the treasurer in connection with the subscription, purchase, sale, collection, safekeeping, or delivery of all such obligations at any time acquired by the treasurer.

6. As used in this chapter, except as more particularly specified in section 30.270, obligations of the United States shall include securities of the United States Treasury, and United States agencies or instrumentalities as described in section 15, article IV, Constitution of Missouri. The word "temporarily" as used in this section shall mean no more than six months."; and

Further amend said bill, page 3, Section 30.270, Line 70 by inserting immediately after said line the following:

"30.951. 1. There is hereby created a "Local Government Investment Pool", consisting of the aggregate of all funds from local officials handling public funds that are placed in the custody of the state treasurer pursuant to this section and sections 30.260, 30.270, and 30.952, for investment and reinvestment as provided in this section. As used in this section, the following terms mean:

(1) "Governing body", the board, body or persons in which the powers of a municipality or political subdivision are vested;

(2) "Municipality", municipal corporations, political corporations, and other public corporations and agencies authorized to exercise governmental functions;

(3) "Political subdivision", counties, townships, cities, towns, villages, schools, county libraries, city libraries, city-county libraries, road, drainage, sewer, levee and fire districts, soil and water conservation districts, watershed subdistricts, county hospitals, and any board of control of an art museum, and any other public subdivision or public corporation having the power to tax.

2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the governing body, or any person designated by the governing body of any municipality or political subdivision of this state having authority to receive, hold, and expend public moneys or funds, may invest and reinvest in accordance with this section any moneys, including proceeds of bonds, notes or other indebtedness, which are not immediately required for the purposes for which the moneys were collected or received.

3. The state treasurer may administer the local government investment pool on behalf of the participating local officials. The treasurer may promulgate such rules and regulations as the treasurer deems necessary for the efficient administration of the pool, including specification of minimum investment amounts and minimum investment periods. The rules may provide for the administration expenses of the pool to be paid from its earning and for the interest earnings in excess of such expenses to be credited or paid to the participants in the pool in a manner which equitably reflects the differing amounts of their respective investments and the differing periods of time for which such amounts were in the pool. The state treasurer may contract with financial institutions and other service providers in furtherance of the purposes of this section.

4. The local government investment pool may invest funds, either directly, or through repurchase agreements or through money market mutual funds as defined and regulated in Rule 2a-7 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, solely in the obligations authorized in section 15, article IV of the Missouri Constitution.

5. The state treasurer shall ensure all funds in the local government investment pool are invested with the same degree of judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, used in the investment of state funds.

6. A separate account for each participant in the fund shall be kept to record individual transactions and totals of all investments belonging to each participant. A monthly report showing the changes in investments made during the preceding month shall be furnished to each participant in the local government investment pool.

7. The principal and accrued income, and any part thereof, of each and every account maintained for a participant in the local government investment pool shall be subject to payment at any time from the pool upon request, subject to applicable regulations and guidelines. Accumulated income shall be remitted or credited to each participant at least quarterly.

8. The state treasurer may appoint an advisory board to assist in the marketing and administration of the local government investment pool. At least seventy-five percent of the advisory board shall be comprised of participants in the investment pool.

9. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, RSMo, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536, RSMo, and, if applicable, section 536.028, RSMo. This section and chapter 536, RSMo, are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536, RSMo, to review, to delay the effective date or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2002, shall be invalid and void.

30.952. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any municipality or political subdivision of this state, as defined in section 30.951, may invest in money market mutual funds, as defined and regulated in Rule 2a-7 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that invest solely in securities in which the state treasurer is authorized to invest."; and

Further amend said title, enacting clause and intersectional references accordingly.

Senator Goode moved that the above amendment be adopted.
