The final week of the 2025 Missouri regular legislative session is underway

The final week of the 2025 Missouri regular legislative session is underway. The week began with time spent on House Joint Resolution 73 which proposes a constitutional amendment that would establish provisions relating to reproductive health care. Senator Adam Schnelting of St. Charles handles this resolution in the upper chamber. 

"Women would be dying in our hospitals from an inability to receive care for ectopic pregnancies, medical mysteries, and miscarriages.", says Senator Schnelting. 

During discussion on the floor of the Missouri Senate, Sen. Patty Lewis of Kansas City says she believes this resolution would undo what voters approved just six months ago. 

"I just want the voters to know that we have a piece of legislation in front of us that will overturn what they just voted on this past November.", says Senator Lewis. 

After about two hours, House Joint Resolution 73 was set aside for further consideration. The regular session will end Friday evening at 6.
