HR 164 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Grants use of the House Chamber for swearing in of attorneys on Friday, April 25, 2025, and Friday, September 26, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

HR 164 is a procedural resolution granting the Missouri Bar permission to use the House Chamber for swearing-in ceremonies of newly licensed attorneys on two specific dates: April 25, 2025, and September 26, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The bill directly affects the Missouri Bar and its newly licensed members by providing a designated venue for this official event. Key provisions include requiring the Missouri Bar to follow strict conduct rules (such as proper attire, no food/drink, and no banners) and mandating that a designated representative (from the sponsor or their designee) oversee the event to maintain chamber decorum. The resolution does not create new laws but formally authorizes this limited, time-bound use of the chamber for a traditional bar function.
