Korman: Weather Boring Compared To Floor Activity

This week was fairly uneventful in the weather but certainly not within the walls of the Missouri Capitol.

I introduced two bills this week. The first, House Bill 774, provides for the distribution of any unexpended state appropriations by a state department, agency, or office. A link to the bill is provided here: http://house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills111/billpdf/intro/HB0774I.PDF.

The second, House Bill 797, 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.

HBs 123, 125 and 271, which I co-sponsored were taken and rolled into a House Committee Substitute within HB 294 (R-Riddle). 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.

The Missouri House perfected HJR 2 sponsored by Mike McGhee (R-Odessa) this week. The HJR submits to the qualified voters of Missouri an amendment repealing section 5 of article 1 of the Constitution of Missouri, and adopting one new section in lieu thereof relating to the right to pray. I co-sponsored the HJR.

I attended the Missouri State Senate Veteran's Affairs, Pensions and Urban Affairs Committee Hearing on Nuclear Site Permit Bills Senate Bills 321 and 406. The hearing lasting over six hours heard testimony in favor of the nuclear site permit bills as our best plan for meeting our energy challenge as well as testimony in opposition.

Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer hosted a dinner this week for Representatives and Senators in the 9th Congressional District. We received an update on the issues in Washington D.C. Sarah, my wife, joined me at the dinner and it was wonderful to have her present.

I’ll be joining Senator Brian Nieves on Sunday, March 13 at 3 p.m. at the Belle Star Theatre in Warrenton to give an update on legislation and answering your questions and concerns. Please consider attending. This event is open to the public and all citizens of the 99th District.

Our office remained busy with visitors from local bankers, home school children, etc. this week. I look forward to visitors at the Capitol; please don’t hesitate to call the office and schedule. We are beginning to see an increased interest from our schools and other groups to have me visit. We strive to give each visit and call the deserved time so please feel free to stop by or contact your 99th District office at:
