E-mail: rusty.black@house.mo.gov 573-751-2917 NEWS FROM THE SEVENTH DISTRICT
Hello 7th District:
Over the past few weeks I had the pleasure of presenting several courtesy resolutions to constituents. The first one was a long time coming. Due to scheduling conflicts, the presentation had to be postponed a few times but I was finally able to give them their resolution.
The Southwest (Livingston County - with Hale and Tina-Avalon) High School Football Team were commended for taking 1st Place at the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) 8-Man Class 1 State Football Championship held November 28, 2020. Very proud of this group of students.
The next several resolutions that I gladly presented were for 2020-2021 Chillicothe School District retirees. Thank you all so much for your service to our school district and I wish you all the best in your retirements.
Here are some legislative that was passed this legislative session: Improving the Response to Accident and Crime Scenes (SB 53)
A provision in SB 53 will give forensic investigators better access to crime and accident scenes and ensure law enforcement can respond rapidly to emergencies. The bill will allow forensic investigators, coroners, and medical examiners to display fixed, flashing, or rotating red or red and blue lights on their vehicle when responding to a crime scene or accident. The bill is meant not only to increase access and safety for investigators as they respond to the scene, but also to eliminate unnecessary delay for fire, law enforcement, medical, and highway department personnel. Fighting Food Insecurity (HB 432)
HB 432 requires the Missouri Department of Social Services to submit a participation plan to the USDA’s Farm to Food Bank Project, which helps get fresh produce to families who struggle with food insecurity. The program allows food banks to collect unharvested agricultural products from farmers’ fields once gleaning is complete. The stipend farmers receive for their leftover crops is paid through federal funds and requires no Missouri taxpayer resources. The bill also allows women and children eligible for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to use their benefits at a local farmers market. Providing Resources for
Missourians with
Alzheimer’s (HB 432)
Another provision in HB 432 will establish the "Alzheimer's State Plan Task Force" in the Department of Health and Senior Services. The task force will assess and maintain a state plan to overcome the challenges of Alzheimer's disease. It will assess the existing services and resources available for persons with Alzheimer's disease and their families and identify opportunities for Missouri to coordinate with federal entities. The task force will deliver a report to the governor and General Assembly by June 1, 2022.
Procedures, including software or surveillance companies that secure the building, for public governmental property.
Increasing Access to Lifesaving Medication (HB 476)
A provision in HB 476 will allow HIV prevention medication to be dispensed by pharmacists without a prescription. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) medications, if taken within 72 hours of potential exposure, can prevent patients from becoming HIV positive. If signed by the governor, Missouri will become the second state in the nation after California to allow these medications to be dispensed without a prescription. Pharmacists would operate under an established protocol formed with a licensed physician to distribute the drugs to patients in need, similar to how vaccines are administered in pharmacies across the state.
As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact my office at the following: by phone at 573-7512917; email at rusty.black@house.mo.gov or on social media at Twitter: @rep_rusty; Facebook: Rusty Black
My legislative assistant, Ashley Wright, or I will be happy to assist in any way that we can. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve the 7th District of the Missouri House of Representatives.
