Branson Republican prefiles bills on Critical Race Theory, protecting rights of unvaccinated

Prefiling of bills in the Missouri House of Representatives began December 1 and already the proposed legislation is littered with bills designed to send Fox News fanboys screaming in ecstasy.

Among those entering the competition is Rep. Brian Seitz, R-Branson, who is halfway through his first term. According to his biography, Seitz was the owner of Music Country News and is associate pastor of Sovereign Grace Baptist Church in Branson.

Judging from his pre-filed bills, Seitz is a perfect fit for our legislature.

Among the legislation Seitz has prefiled:

HB 1639 would allow the House of Representatives to report and review presidential orders and declare them unconstitutional. (He can declare them to be a side of beef, the Missouri House of Representatives has no impact on presidential orders and debating them and this bill are a waste of time and taxpayer money.

HB 1634 prohibits the teaching of Critical Race Theory and about a dozen other programs, especially if they advocate tolerance or speak about any deeds that have may have been committed by white men (like the ones who are proposing these bills).

HB 1664, or the No Patient Left Behind Act as Seitz terms it, would force hospitals to allow patients to have visitors even in times of emergencies such as the COVID pandemic.

HB 1665 prohibits employers from firing anyone who refuses to get a vaccine. An employee who is fired for that reason can sue, be reinstated with back pay, plus 10 percent interest. The bill would also prohibit group insurance programs from offering incentives for people to get vaccinated or penalizing those who do not get vaccinated.

As I mentioned earlier, Seitz is just one of those who is sprinkling this kind of sunshine. I will be examining more of these bills from other legislators in upcoming posts.
