In 1949, the General Assembly delegated the authority to the committee to prepare and publish the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo).

-Provide annual publications of the Session Laws of Missouri after each regular and any extraordinary session of the General Assembly;

-Prepare revision bills for introduction in the General Assembly to revise and correct issues or problems that exist in the Revised Statutes;
