Greitens: General Assembly passed many important bills this session

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Following the conclusions of the 2018 regular legislative session, Gov. Eric Greitens released the following statement:

“I’m grateful that members of the General Assembly passed many important bills this session. I’m encouraged to see that so many of our shared priorities—reforms to our foster care system, protections for our veterans, new opportunities for Missouri students, important pro-jobs legislation, and more—are among the many accomplishments.

At the start of this legislative session, we said that Missouri is strong and she is getting stronger. As we look back over the work that we have been able to do this year, I am proud to say that Missouri grows stronger still. We’ve rolled back more burdensome regulations, cracked down the over-prescription of opioids, won more quality jobs for Missouri workers, deployed Missouri Guardsmen to help secure our U.S. border, and we continue our mission to make life better for Missouri families.”
