There are only 2 days left in Missouri’s legislative session. By law, the session must end on Friday. Leadership in the House and Senate are scrambling to get bills across the finish line.
Our list of priority bills has not changed, but some of the bills we have been following have been added to other bills as amendments.
HJR 43
One of our priorities was HJR 43. The letter below explains the latest on this bill. HJR 43 was not our first choice for IP reform. It was actually a compromise that has turned into a horrible solution that will tie the hands of those trying to make the ratification process better.
The co-signers of this letter are urging Reps and Senators to KILL HJR 43 on the House and Senate floor.
