The State Senate has approved Senate Bill 164.
It is a comprehensive anti-crime bill and will make several changes to Missouri’s criminal laws, including those affecting drug offenses, juvenile courts and street gangs.
The bill also would establish an innovative drug treatment program for first-time drug offenders and those already in prison. State Senator Clay offered an amendment to this bill which the Senate adopted.
The amendment makes use of a minor in unlawful activities involving controlled substances a Class A felony.
The Senate also passed bills that would increase the salaries of police officers in St. Louis and Kansas City.
The Joint Education Finance Task Force, made up of Senate and House members, released a new foundation formula that would change the way local schools are funded.
