Legislation Switches Chambers

Hello from your favorite Senator Angela Mosley! Following a long weekend for the President’s Day holiday, it has been a busy and productive couple of weeks for the Missouri Senate. I am proud of the work we have done and very glad to have met so many constituents, advocates and proud Missourians who came to visit the Capitol. 

I have had several pieces of legislation take important steps forward and I am going to keep pushing them towards the governor’s desk before we conclude the legislative session in May. This last week I presented Senate Bill 967, establishing the Black History Education and Awareness Act and designating the first week in February as Black History Week, to the Education Committee; Senate Bill 1509, establishing the Office of State Ombudsman for Inmates in the Custody of the Department of Corrections, to the Senate Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence Committee; and Senate Bill 1613, designating each November 24 as Frankie Muse Freeman Day, to the Progress and Development Committee.

I want to thank every member of the public and those with personal connections to these pieces of legislation who came to the Capitol to be witnesses for these bills. While I am proud to stand with you and be the conduit to moving these issues towards a better tomorrow, it is your voice that truly drives legislative success. 

Since my last update, the Senate passed several bills, sending them to the House of Representatives for their consideration: 

• Senate Bill 953 – Adjusts laws surrounding money in the Natural Resources Protection Fund and prevents any unexpected balance in the fund from being transferred to General Revenue. 
• Senate Bill 835 – Strengthens protections for homeowners by increasing the amount of home equity and personal property that cannot be taken to satisfy a judgment, and by adjusting those exemption amounts for inflation over time. It also clarifies and limits how and when creditors can seize bank account funds, giving debtors clearer rights and a defined window to object. I was proud to support this change as I believe it will help more people keep their lives intact when they are hit by tough times.
• Senate Bill 1233 – Modifies provisions relating to licensing of certain professionals.
• Senate Bill 1000 – Modifies the Tourism Supplemental Revenue Fund.
• Senate Bill 974 – Modifies provisions relating to compensation for services rendered in veteran benefits matters. 
• Senate Bill 938 – Modifies provisions relating to land surveying.
• Senate Bill 1087 – Modifies provisions relating to driver’s licenses. 
• Senate Bill 1032 – Creates an income tax deduction for certain dependents. 

As always, the highlight of my week is meeting with the great people of District 13. Below are a few visitors to the Capitol.
