Korman: Funeral Protest Buffers Approved

This week we said goodbye to February and hello to March and tackled some issues that although I’ve known about them are requiring me to dig deeper into the issues.

The Missouri House perfected HB 214 sponsored by Anne Zerr (R-18) this week, a measure that increases the penalties to individuals found guilty of human trafficking in the state.

HCS HBs 276, 233 and 274, was ordered perfected and rinted. Sponsored by Ward Franz (R-151), this bill would recognize the rights of families to privately mourn the loss of a family member and picketing or protesting funerals is a violation of these rights. Allowing families to privately grieve the loss of a family member is the right thing to do. I fully supported this bill.

I attended the Special Standing Committee on Redistricting in Mexico this week. Public hearings are going on throughout the state and are open to the public. Public Testimony on establishing new Congressional district boundaries is accepted. House Bill 193 establishes the basic format for dividing Missouri into eight Congressional districts based on the 2010 census estimates.

The Public Service Commission held meetings all over the State on the Ameren Missouri electrical rate case seeking to increase annual electric operating revenues by approximately $9.30 per average residential customer. I attended the hearing in Mexico; even with the rate increase Missouri nationally has one of the lowest electrical rates.

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.

We had many visitors this week; a very special visitor was Eric Czerniewski from Montgomery City whom we recognized before the House of Representatives for his achievement as the first quarterback to win the Harlon Hill Trophy since 2005. Eric attends University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg so Representative Hoskins from Warrensburg and I presented Eric with a House Resolution.

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:
