Missouri lawmakers will continue working on several issues after last month’s end of the 2013 regular session. House Speaker Tim Jones has announced the formation of an interim committee to examine the state’s election laws. It’s being chaired by fellow Republican Sue Entlicher, who formerly served as Clerk of Polk County:
“We’re looking for anything to keep the statutes up to date and not repeat anything…then also we’re going to comprise, hopefully, a plan to take care of any of the voting machines that need to be updated or need to be replaced,” Entlicher said.
Meanwhile, another House interim committee has been formed to examine ways to prevent chronic wasting disease from spreading to the state’s elk and deer populations. Both chambers have also formed interim committees to study Medicaid reform.
