Welcome to another episode of Under the Dome, your go-to source for updates from Empower Missouri, focusing on anti-poverty initiatives in Jefferson City. Despite widespread illness, our committed team continues to advocate for progress in critical areas such as housing, food security, and criminal justice reform.
This week, we discuss the progress of House Bill 595, which bans source of income discrimination. We also delve into House Bill 916 concerning food security, which aims to remove the lifetime SNAP benefit ban for individuals with drug felonies.
Additionally, we explore the heated debates around mandatory minimum prison terms and their potential impact on Missouri's prison system. Our episode wraps up with a discussion about the St. Louis police takeover bill on the Senate floor and the tireless efforts of Senator Karla May in defending local control.
