JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Several Missouri lawmakers are returning to Jefferson City for meetings at the state Capitol.

A special House committee on government contracting scheduled a hearing Tuesday on fee offices, where Missouri motorists renew driver’s licenses and vehicle registrations. Contracts to run the offices are awarded through a bidding process.

Also scheduled to meet Tuesday was a committee focusing on wages for state employees.

Republican legislative leaders are preparing for the 2013 session, in which they will hold veto-proof majorities in both the House and Senate.
