Missouri Roundtable For Life, Missouri Right To Life, and Missouri Citizens File Petition With Court; Seek Declaration That MOSIRA Bill is Void

The MOSIRA bill, Senate Bill 7 (SB7), contains a clause that ties its implementation to the passage of Senate Bill 8 (SB8), also known as the "Aerotropolis" bill, by the General Assembly during the most recent Special Session.  Since SB8 failed to pass during the Special Session, the MOSIRA bill cannot go into effect and is therefore void.  Despite the clear language of the bill, Governor Jay Nixon has issued a press release stating he will “initiate steps toward the implementation” of MOSIRA.  

“We are asking the Court to uphold the plain language of the MOSIRA bill in the face of the Governor's refusal to do so,” said Fred N. Sauer, plaintiff and President of Missouri Roundtable for Life.
