Three bills sponsored by Sen. Joe Keaveny, D-St. Louis, are headed to the governor’s desk. Senate Bill 99 makes a number of changes to state election laws.
The measure started as a simple bill to make the St. Louis City Public Administrator an appointed position rather than an elected position.
It allows for the printing of the state manual or “Blue Book,” which was discontinued a couple of years ago and is currently available only on the Internet. Sen. Keaveny also sponsored Senate Bill 100, which is headed to the governor to be signed into law.
The measure protects money from an individual’s health savings account, retirement savings or an inherited account from being attached in bankrupt proceedings.
The final bill passed by Sen. Keaveny is SB 69, which will allow hearing officers to make corrections to child support orders in order to improve efficiency in the court system and keep families out of court. “Though we had many accomplishments this session, the failure to expand Medicaid and receive federal dollars as well as create new jobs is disappointing.
In addition, failing to include early childhood education in the foundation formula continues to be a detriment for young children who need tools found in preschool in order to be successful in school later on.”
