Pension Bill Voted in Missouri Senate Passed by Narrow Margin
Missouri Senate narrowly approves a broad state employee and legislator retirement bill sending it to the House 18 to 15. The plan refunds 4 percent employee contributions as a lump sum, keeps basic benefits, adds life insurance to 5000, and shifts 10 percent of health costs to the state. Legislators’ contributions rise to 5 percent with a 25 percent boost to monthly benefits. A separate teachers retirement tweak and a local solid waste bill also advance before the House action.

Fair Housing Bill Dropped in Missouri Legislature
Jefferson City AP In Missouri the sponsor of a fair housing bill pulled it from the calendar after amendments weakened the measure. Rep. Fred Williams said the bill still offered a path to complainants to the state Commission on Human Rights, but opponents pushed provisions allowing landlords to seek damages from complainants and to shift costs if discrimination was not proven. A separate amendment would have required complaints to be filed by the complainant or their attorney. House leaders planned to consider constitutional changes including charity gambling and a state lottery.
