GOVERNOR PARSON TAKES ACTION ON ALL REMAINING LEGISLATION PASSED DURING 2023 LEGISLATIVE SESSION

Press Release

Date: July 6, 2023
Location: Jefferson City, MO
Issues: Executive Branch Legislative Branch

"Today, we took action to close out all remaining bills from the 2023 session, and we appreciate all the Senators and Representatives who worked tirelessly, on behalf of their constituents, to get this legislation across the finish line. These bills we are signing today ensure a safer, stronger, and more efficient Missouri, and we hope to celebrate these accomplishments with legislators and Missourians soon."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"SB 189 contains many public safety measures that we support and would like to sign into law, including Blair's Law, Max's Law, increased penalties for violent repeat offenders and gun crimes, and strengthening the public defender system. However, in this case, these unintended consequences unfortunately outweigh the good. Missourians know I am a law and order Governor and that improving public safety is a cornerstone of our administration, but I cannot sign this bill with these provisions as they are currently written."
