Wrap: China Hub is going to the negotiating committee.
The Missouri House passed the bill last Thursday.
But on Tuesday, Senate Republicans met privately to discuss it.
And after saying that any bill without termination dates was dead on arrival, the top Senate leader, Rob Mayer, announced that the bill was moving to a conference committee.

| Description: ""We have the opportunity to go to conference to argue or present our position as to why we're where we're at and at the end of the day we'll see if we change anybody's mind." | |
And if the Senate can't change the House's mind, Mayer says next week is the end of the special session.

Wrap: The biggest debate in the Missouri legislature is now going to the negotiating table.
Senate President Pro-Tem Rob Mayer says China Hub cannot be passed in the Senate without termination dates.
But the House sent the bill to the Senate without them.
After Senate Republicans met behind closed doors, Mayer said there's room to compromise, but not on everything.

Mayer says the conference committee is next Monday and no matter what happens, next week is the end of the special session.
