Legislation and Rules Committee May 28, 2026

The City of St. Louis Legislation and Rules Committee convened on May 28, 2026, primarily to discuss Board Bill 19, which proposes extending the sunset date of the city's Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) program to December 31, 2026. The bill aims to provide additional time to revise and update the ordinance governing the MWBE program, which was originally set to expire at the end of 2026 after an eight-year term. Committee members and board members expressed support for the extension, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the program while allowing for necessary updates. The committee voted unanimously to pass Board Bill 19 with a due pass recommendation. No other procurement-related items or budget discussions were addressed during the meeting.
