The Missouri General Assembly is the state legislature of the U.S. state of Missouri. The bicameral General Assembly is composed by a 34-member Senate, and a 163-member House of Representatives. Members of both houses of the General Assembly are subject to term limits. Senators are limited to two terms, and Representatives to four; a total of8 years for members of both houses.

According to the Missouri Constitution, "The general assembly shall meet on the first Wednesday after the first Monday in January following each general election. The general assembly may provide by law for the introduction of bills during the period between the first day of December and the first Wednesday after the first Monday of January.

The general assembly shall reconvene on the first Wednesday after the first Monday of January after adjournment at midnight on May thirtieth of the preceding year."

As a part-time legislature, compensation is low, and most senators and representatives hold jobs outside their legislative duties. Law makers are paid $31,351 per legislative year.
