Two of the bills that became law in 2022 were signed after the end of the legislative session. In order for a bill to become law, it must pass both the House and Senate and be signed by Gov. Mike Parson (R) or the legislature overrides a veto from the governor. House Bill 2162 and Senate Bill 725 were both signed on July 16.
