| End-of-Session Review |
|
The First Regular Session of the 97th General Assembly ended this week. While I was disappointed lawmakers did not expand Medicaid for thousands of Missourians under the Affordable Care Act, I am pleased that several of my amendments were attached to legislation that moved forward this session.
| Videos: HB 400 (Abortion Procedures), SB 262 (Health Insurance), HB 533 (Firearms) & HCR 16 (Women Veterans) |
|
The Senate approved House Bill 400, a measure that would require the physical presence of the physician who prescribed or dispensed any abortion-inducing drugs while such drug is administered. During debate I stood up with a colleague to discuss the difference between RU-486 and Plan B as they relate to abortion procedures and birth control.
| The Roles of Women |
|
Following a hearing last week before the Senate Rules, Joint Rules and Ethics Committee on a Senate concurrent esolution I am sponsoring, I began thinking about the role of women today and how our roles continue to evolve.
| Gubernatorial Appointees |
|
One of the duties of being a state senator is to nominate and approve citizens to serve as members on many of the governor's boards and commissions. The Senate Gubernatorial Appointments Committee meets to hear testimony on these appointees, and then they are approved by the full Senate. .
| General Assembly Approves $25 Billion State Budget |
|
Missouri lawmakers recently approved the state’s spending plan for Fiscal Year 2014 a day ahead of the constitutional deadline. The Senate adjourned for the week after approving the 13 House bills that comprise the state’s $25 billion budget.
