“May [insert your preferred deity or higher power] bless and keep the Missouri House and their legislation – far away from us.”

Representative Rick Brattin (r) [2013 file photo].

This past week there has been flurry of really interesting prefiled bills from the republican majority in the House for the 2016 legislative session. A sampling of some of the winners:

HB 1794
Establishes the “All Lives Matter Act”, which changes the laws regarding the finding that life begins at conception
Sponsor: Moon, Mike (157)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 5277H.02I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1794
[….]

Representative Mike Moon (r) is worried about a lot of things lately.

Tenther drivel, from Representative Tim Remole (r):

HB 1791
Specifies that any federal regulation or rule promulgated as a result of an executive order issued by the President of the United States must be declared invalid in Missouri and of no effect
Sponsor: Remole, Tim (006)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 5091H.02I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1791
[….]

Right.

A pair of bills on guns from Representative Robert Cornejo (r):

HB 1765
Exempts firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition up to $1500 from attachment and execution
Sponsor: Cornejo, Robert (064)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 5163H.01I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1765
[….]

And:

HB 1764
Requires a church or other place of worship to provide explicit notice that concealed firearms are not allowed on the property
Sponsor: Cornejo, Robert (064)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 4845H.01I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1764
[….]

Does this mean if leave your attached gun on the collection plate you can take a $1,500.00 charitable deduction? Just asking.

Protecting the next generation from the outside world – Representative Kurt Bahr (r):

HB 1755
Specifies that parental liberty to direct the upbringing, education, and care of his or her children is a fundamental right not subject to infringement without demonstrating a compelling governmental interest
Sponsor: Bahr, Kurt (102)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 4258H.01I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1755
[….]

Does the acquisition of critical thinking skills constitute a compelling government interest? Just asking.

Until the full text of Representative Shane Roden’s (r) bill becomes available we won’t be able to tell if he’s an “originalist” or not:

HB 1750
Specifies that the Pledge of Allegiance must be recited at least once per school day in schools supported by public funds
Sponsor: Roden, Shane (111)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 5230H.01I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1750
[….]

We kind of like the original version from 1892.

Now, what on earth could have precipitated Representative Rick Brattin’s (r) punitive bill?:

HB 1743
Provides that any college athlete on scholarship who refuses to play for a reason unrelated to health shall have his or her scholarship revoked
Sponsor: Brattin, Rick (055)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 4679H.01I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1743
[….]

Is that on any given Sunday or Saturday or Friday or just major religious holidays? Just asking.

And, what legislative session could go forward without an abortion restriction bill with an attention getting title? Apparently Representative Tila Hubrecht (r) won the republican caucus bill naming lottery:

HB 1714
Establishes the Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act
Sponsor: Hubrecht, Tila (151)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 5269H.01I
Last Action: 12/10/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1714
[….]

And, finally, a tiny bit of wishful thinking from Representative Caleb Rowden (r):

HB 1698
Establishes the Meet in Missouri Act to attract national conventions to Missouri
Sponsor: Rowden, Caleb (044)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 4582H.01I
Last Action: 12/09/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 169[….]

Anyone think they’ll make a play to host Planned Parenthood’s next national meeting?

Folks, that’s your right wingnut controlled Missouri General Assembly in action. Protect us all.

Recission of Health Care Reform: the usual suspects

August 3rd, ballot measure.Proposition C, Brad Lager, HB 1764, health care reform, Jack Goodman, missouri, Patrick Tuohey, repeal

On May 21, 2010 Missourians for Health Care Choice (pdf) a campaign [issue] committee was established with the Missouri Ethics Commission. On June 21, 2010 the committee filed an amended statement changing their name to Missourians for Health Care Freedom (pdf). When you think about it the apparent aversion to the first choice is somewhat amusing. And yes, they have a website.

They exist to support the August 3rd ballot question (from HB 1764) that asserts our right to keep government out of our Medicare.

The committee treasurer (in both organization statements) is Patrick Tuohey.

On June 28, 2010 the committee received three $5,000.00 contributions:

MISSOURI ETHICS COMMISSION

CONTRIBUTION OF MORE THAN $5,000.00 RECEIVED BY ANY COMMITTEE FROM ANY SINGLE DONOR – TO BE FILED WITHIN 48 HOURS OF RECEIVING THE CONTRIBUTION

C101350 MISSOURIANS FOR HEALTH CARE FREEDOM (pdf) 6/28/2010

Ray Vincent

Chesterfield, MO

US Auto Protection

6/28/2010

$5,000.00

Missourians for Goodman

Mount Vernon, MO 6/28/2010

$5,000.00

Citizens for Brad Lager

Savannah, MO 6/25/2010

$5,000.00

[emphasis added]

What, no million dollar contributions?

Missouri State Senate

Bills Co-Sponsored by Senator Lager

SB 851 – Requires at least four days notice before voting by governing bodies of local governments on tax increases, eminent domain, and certain districts and projects

SCR 56 – Urges the Department of Natural Resources to consider the use of certain coal technology in its permitting of new coal-fired power plants

SJR 25 – Prohibits laws interfering with freedom of choice in health care

[emphasis added]

There’s that unfortunate choice of word again.

Missouri State Senate

Bills Co-Sponsored by Senator Goodman

SB 721 – Modifies provisions relating to required travel club assets

SB 740 – Exempts prosecuting and circuit attorneys who have completed the firearms safety training course required to obtain a conceal carry endorsement from certain otherwise unlawful uses of a weapon

SB 821 – Requires drug testing for work-eligible Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) applicants and recipients based upon reasonable suspicion

SB 851 – Requires at least four days notice before voting by governing bodies of local governments on tax increases, eminent domain, and certain districts and projects

SCR 56 – Urges the Department of Natural Resources to consider the use of certain coal technology in its permitting of new coal-fired power plants

SJR 25 – Prohibits laws interfering with freedom of choice in health care

[emphasis added]

There’s that word again. Irony impairment alert. Yes, it’s all about that choice you used to have to pay for insurance and have an insurance company deny you coverage. That’ll make perfect sense to a certain percentage of the population.
