Show Notes
Missouris House of Representatives passed 23 bills, including tougher drunk driving penalties, childcare tax credits, and pandemic worship protections. Two bills, like a hemp product ban, head to Governor Mike Kehoes desk, while 21 go to the Senate. The drunk driving bill increases felony charges, requires ignition interlocks, and mandates parole eligibility. Childcare measures offer credits and business incentives. Critics worry about cost hikes, but backers see it addressing top voter concerns. Other bills include blocking scam calls, decriminalizing magic mushrooms for vets, and healthcare wins like adding doulas to Medicaid. One bill to help dropouts finish high school online failed, but the session signals significant changes if the Senate acts fast.
