Korman: One Last Mention About Snow, Bills That Passed Third Reading

Yes, I’m going to start my report out about the snow (one last time) on Monday morning as it took everyone by surprise then the rest of the week was beautiful.

The Missouri General Assembly is at the middle of the 2011 session.

The Missouri House of Representatives has had several achievements toward making state government more efficient and accountable by drug testing welfare recipients, making counties and school districts disclose their debt, and that state departments should be looking to contain costs. There have been fifty-four House Bills, House Concurrent Resolutions and House Joint Resolutions approved by the Missouri House of Representatives thus far.

This week was busy for Third Reading and Passing.

HCS HBs 294,123, 125, 113, 271 and 215, was Third Read and Passed the MO House of Representative. This substitute bill changes the laws regarding firearms, ammunition and concealed carry endorsements. I fully support this bill. Here is a link to the bill: http://www.house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills111/billpdf/commit/HB0294C.PDF.

House Bill 213 was also Third Read and passed the MO House of Representatives. This bill specifies that no abortion of a viable unborn child as determined by a physician can be performed or induced except in certain specified situations. I voted in favor of this bill and here is a link: http://www.house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills111/billpdf/perf/HB0213P.PDF.

House Bill 797 was referred to the House Agricultural Policy on March 16. This bill relates to the state land survey program. It transfers land survey duties from the Department of Natural Resources to the Department of Agriculture. A link to that bill is provided here: http://house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills111/billpdf/intro/HB0797I.PDF.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank those citizens that came out to the Mid-Session Town Hall on Sunday, March 13 at 3 p.m. at the Belle Star Theatre in Warrenton. We had a nice crowd.

Next week is Spring Break and I will be back in the district. I’m looking forward to visiting many of the schools and delivering a very handy teaching tool on Missouri called the Showing You The Show-Me State.
