Today, Governor Mike Parson signed 19 pieces of legislation into law, concluding bill signings for the 2019 legislative session.
Governor Parson opened his office to the public for this week’s ceremonial bill signing sessions.
"This year's legislative session was marked by historic progress on major issues that impact all Missourians,"Governor Parson said. “I applaud the General Assembly for their hard work and leadership over the past several months. It was an honor to stand with them this week as we officially signed these milestones into law."
