House Bill 271 passed by legislators last month is a reaction from Republican lawmakers to rain in Metro, high-populated areas and heavily Democratic parts of Missouri over coronavirus closures and local mass requirements. The bill limits the scope of local health departments to force businesses to close in Missouri to only 30 days over a six-month time span. Closures would then have to be extended every 30 days by a majority voted the city or city council. HB 271 also prohibits vaccine passports in the state. Governor Parsons saying in a post on Facebook, quote, while we encourage all mouserns to get vaccinated against COVID-19, it is not the government's job to force them on quote. Previously, Parsons said that he wouldn't supersede stricter local rules imposed in cities like Kansas City and St. Louis. For KRPS, I'm Fred Fletcher-Fierro in Web City.
