Became law
This already passed. Here's what you can still do.
1. Push for repeal or amendment
Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.
→ Write to your rep3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill, known as "Bentley and Mason's Law," creates a new requirement for child maintenance orders in Missouri. If a person is convicted of driving while intoxicated and that offense causes the death of a child's parent, a court can order the convicted person to pay child maintenance to the child. These payments would continue until the child reaches age 18, or up to age 21 if they are still in school or have certain disabilities, and the bill outlines how the payment amount is determined and enforced.
