Legislative action is finally well underway in the Second Regular Session of the 93rd General Assembly. There have been about 500 bills filed in the Missouri House of Representatives so far and there will be many, many more. As your personal state representative, I have co-sponsored nearly 100 of those which I believe will serve some or all of you in a positive way.
