At the Capitol
Assembly members were invited for dinner at the Governor's Mansion on Tuesday. Governor Nixon thanked both parties for their cooperation on key state issues.
On Tuesday, I filed for the opportunity to serve Ray and Clay County for two more years as State Representative. On Tuesday, I also attended the Healthcare Transformation Committee. We passed a bill that would have school boards work in concert with MSHAA to develop rules relating to youth head injuries.
On Wednesday I attended the Insurance Committee meeting where we discussed mechanic liens on property and on Thursday I attend the Agriculture Committee.
HB 1521, which I sponsored, passed out of the Senior Citizen Advocacy Committee Wednesday. The bill expands the Amber Alert System to include missing endangered adults and youth that don't meet the criteria of Amber Alert.
HB 1498 passed out of the house with 155 votes. It is properly called "prompt pay" because it requires faster payment of medical claims.
In the District
Governor Nixon will be visiting Watkins Mill tomorrow at 10:00 am.
I try to attend as many functions as I can in the district to support worthwhile causes especially for our youth and elderly. Unfortunately, during session, my attendance is limited to weekends. The Richmond Rotary Club is having their annual fundraiser to benefit club programs this Saturday at the Shrine Club.
Sunday from 11:00 am -3:00 pm is a fund raising event at the Elms for the Northland Coalition. Northland Coalition is an organization dedicated to creating a healthy, safe, and drug-free community in which to raise our children. The Elms will be donating $5 from every adult meal, and $2.50 from every child's meal to the Coalition to help fund Substance Abuse Prevention Programs in the Northland.
