HB 2331 -- PUBLIC HEALTH

SPONSOR: Baker

COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "Do Pass" by the Standing Committee on Downsizing State Government by a vote of 13 to 0. Voted "Do Pass" by the Standing Committee on Rules- Administrative Oversight by a vote of 9 to 0.

This bill repeals in their entirety Sections 191.743, 196.866, and 196.868, RSMo, dealing with frozen dessert licensure and perinatal substance abuse.

PROPONENTS: Supporters say that this is an unneeded license. The ice cream manufacturers already have to pass inspections and live up to regulations. This costs the state more to regulate than it collects in fees for the licensure.

This bill also eliminates a physician regulation that is obsolete. The statute references 191.741 which does not exist anymore.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Baker; and Mo Retailers Association.

OPPONENTS: Those who oppose the bill say that we need to protect Missouri consumers to ensure safety and no harm will be done.

Testifying against the bill was Arnie C. Ac Dienoff
