Missouri General Assembly
The Missouri General Assembly is the state legislature of the State of Missouri and is composed of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The General Assembly is responsible for creating laws for governing the State of Missouri.
Current and Relevant Bills
HB 975 Right to Repair This bill is
pro-farmer but anti-manufacturer. It would allow farmers to purchase equipment repair software that is very expensive for farmers to pay someone to use. Manufacturers are opposed to this bill because they think allowing farmers the code would be breaching privacy, as well as the fact that it might bring personal safety and environmental concerns.
As an independent, non-governmental, voluntary organization of manufacturers, the Missouri Association of Manufacturers (MAM), our efforts are directed toward the promotion, preservation and advancement of all aspects of manufacturing for the general welfare of the state of Missouri. To this end, MAM represents manufacturers and promotes manufacturing for the continual improvement of the community, the economy and the environment. MAM believes that property rights and personal freedom are guaranteed by the United States Constitution.
