JEFFERSON CITY — In her role as incoming Senate majority floor leader, Sen. Cindy O’Laughlin, R-Shelbina, announces House and Senate leadership have reached an agreement on the dates for the 2023 legislative spring break. The General Assembly’s mid-session recess is set to begin upon adjournment on March 9, 2023.
