They’ve been in control for over 20 years. What has that gotten anyone? Just asking.

Here’s one they passed this session (and the Governor signed):

SS#2 HCS HB 2634 — HEALTH CARE

This bill specifies that no public funds will be expended to any
abortion facility, or affiliate thereof, including for MO HealthNet
reimbursement.

Any taxpayer, as well as the Attorney General, will have standing to bring a cause of action in any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction to enforce these provisions, as specified in the bill.

The bill modifies existing statute permitting any MO HealthNet participant to obtain MO HealthNet services from any provider of services in a MO HealthNet provider agreement with the State by requiring the provider to not be disqualified or excluded from serving as a MO HealthNet provider.

The bill requires the Department of Social Services to suspend, revoke, or cancel any contract or provider agreement or refuse to enter into a new contract or provider agreement with any provider when it has been determined that the provider is not qualified to perform the required services because the provider has committed certain offenses specified in the bill, has been found guilty of a pattern of intentional discrimination in the delivery or non-delivery of health care services, or if the provider is an abortion facility or affiliate thereof.

The bill prohibits reimbursement to abortion facilities, or affiliates thereof, under the “Uninsured Women’s Health Program”.

“Abortion is health care”

Also, this past session:

HB 2057 — MUNICIPAL FRANCHISE FEES FOR VIDEO SERVICE PROVIDERS

This bill modifies the definition of “video service” for provisions of law relating to video service providers to now include streaming content.

And another:

HB 2111 — POWERS OF THE STATE AUDITOR

This bill defines “improper governmental activity”, as official misconduct, fraud, misappropriation, mismanagement, waste of resources, or a violation of State or Federal law, rule, or regulation.

The bill specifies that the Auditor or his or her authorized representative may audit all or part of any political subdivision or government entity if, after an investigation, the Auditor believes improper governmental activity has occurred, or when requested to by a prosecuting attorney, circuit attorney, or law enforcement agency as part of an investigation.

This bill specifies that testimony and records obtained through subpoenas issued by the Auditor are subject to the same confidentiality and disclosure requirements for audit workpapers and related supportive material.

Currently, each fiscal year, the State Auditor must audit, adjust and settle all receipts and disbursements in the Insurance Dedicated Fund and the Insurance Examiners’ Fund, and taxes certified and collected on foreign and domestic insurance premiums, surplus line premiums, and county taxes on property owned by insurance companies. This bill repeals the requirement to audit taxes certified and collected on foreign and domestic insurance premiums, surplus line premiums, and county taxes on property owned by insurance companies and requires that the results of audits of the Insurance Dedicated Fund and the Insurance Examiners’ Fund be reported as part of the annual audit of the State’s financial statements.

The bill adds records relating to reports of allegations of improper governmental activities to the list of records exempt from public disclosure under the Sunshine Law.

Transparency used to be a thing.
