Section A. Sections 2.080 and 2.091, RSMo 1994, are repealed and two new sections enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as sections 2.080 and 2.091, to read as follows:

2.080. 1. Copies of the journals of the proceedings of each house of the general assembly shall be compiled under the superintendence and direction of the secretary of [state] the senate and chief clerk of the house, in such number as may be determined to be necessary by the committee on legislative research, to be distributed as directed by the committee. After each session of the general assembly, the secretary of [state] the senate and chief clerk of the house shall examine and correct the proof sheets of the journals of their respective chambers and prepare a table of the errata, if any errors have been made, and shall prepare an index of the journals. The secretary of the senate and chief clerk of the house shall develop and use a common indexing system for the journals.

2. Copies of the journals may be printed and bound into books, may be microphotographed, or may otherwise be copied so as to preserve the record of proceedings and to facilitate the use and storage of the journals.
