AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2016 Ratings of Missouri

Dear Fellow Conservatives,

We are pleased to present the American Conservative Union Foundation’s ratings for the 2016 meeting of the Missouri General Assembly. Like our Congressional Ratings, our State Ratings reflect how elected officials view the role of government in an individual's life. The Missouri legislators with the highest scores voted most consistently with the ideals articulated in the U.S. Constitution: limited and transparent government, individual rights, personal responsibility, and lasting cultural values.

In 2015, ACU Foundation was proud to make history by being the first organization to rate every single state legislature across the full spectrum of issues, helping each voter understand how his or her state ranks among the rest.

Ultimately, we are trying to help people understand what conservatism is and how it improves the lives of everyday Americans. Conservatism is the political philosophy that sovereignty resides in the person. We think that understanding this idea is essential if Americans are to successfully govern themselves again.

Working with our policy centers and fellows, the ACU Foundation engages in deep policy analysis to help create our annual state scorecards. We have enhanced the vote descriptions this year to show this effort more clearly.

By examining all 50 of our State Ratings, we can see which states have most effectively promoted conservative solutions and which have struggled. Our ratings also help identify legislators who have courageously fought against liberal majorities. We hope that this guide helps you learn how well, or poorly, your legislators work to preserve the values we share.

Sincerely,

Matt SchlappChairmanAmerican Conservative Union

SELECTING THE VOTES

ACU researched and selected a range of bills before the Missouri General Assembly that determine a member’s adherence to conservative principles. We selected bills that focus on Ronald Reagan’s philosophy of the “three-legged stool”: 1) fiscal and economic: taxes, budgets, regulation, spending, healthcare, and property; 2) social and cultural: 2nd amendment, religion, life, welfare, and education; and 3) government integrity: voting, individual liberty, privacy, and transparency. This wide range of issues are designed to give citizens an accurate assessment that conveys which of Missouri’s elected leaders best defend the principles of a free society: Life, Liberty and Property.

1. SB 919 Beer Sale Regulations. This bill allows retail stores to sell containers of beer that are more than 32 ounces, which are known as “growlers.” Currently, sales of growlers are restricted to breweries and brew pubs.

2. SJR 39 Religious Freedom. This resolution proposes a state constitutional amendment that prohibits the government from imposing a penalty on anyone who refuses to participate or provide goods and services or a facility for a wedding that violates their religious beliefs.

The Senate passed the resolution on March 10, 2016 by a vote of 23-7.

3. SB 786 Voter Fraud Investigations. This bill allows the Missouri Secretary of State to investigate cases of voter fraud. Currently, these cases are referred to local jurisdictions.

4. SCR 46 Minimum Wage Mandate. This resolution suspends a rule issued by the state Department of Health and Senior Services that sets a wage level for home care employees above the minimum wage without the approval of the state legislature. An increase in the minimum wage results in higher unemployment. High rates of unemployment hinder family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index.

The Senate voted to override the Governor’s veto of the resolution on April 6, 2016 by a vote of 24-8.

5. HB 1698 Convention Subsidies. This bill creates a new government entity that provides up to $1 million in taxpayer funds to organizations planning a convention within the next five years, provided they meet a series of requirements and they are approved by the Director of the Department of Economic Development. ACU opposes these corporate subsidies that favor one organization over another and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on April 25, 2016 by a vote of 27-4.

6. HB 1631 Voter ID. This bill requires a photo ID for voting at the polls. Under the bill, if a person does not possess a photo ID, the state will provide a free ID and pay for the documents needed to obtain it. ACU supports efforts to protect the integrity of the ballot and prevent voter fraud and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 3, 2016 by a vote of 24-8.

7. HB 1565 Nasheed Amendment Obamacare Implementation. The Nasheed amendment – SA #3 – to a bill amending the Missouri state healthcare system expands Medicaid under Obamacare. ACU opposes expanding a program rife with waste and fraud with no reforms and opposed this amendment. The Senate defeated the amendment on May 10, 2016 by a vote of 7-24.

8. HB 1891 Paycheck Protection. This bill requires that a union employee give permission before union dues and fees are deducted from the employee’s pay.

9. SB 608 Medicaid Reform. This bill allows a Medicaid provider to impose a missed appointment fee for patients who fail to cancel an appointment 24 hours in advance. The fee ranges from $5 for a first missed appointment to $20 for a third missed appointment. The bill also provides for the right of the provider to refuse to schedule another appointment until the fee is paid. ACU supports reform of a program rife with waste and fraud and supported this modest reform as a step in the right direction. The Senate voted to override the Governor’s veto of the bill on September 14, 2016 by a vote of 24-7.

10. SB 656 Constitutional Carry. This omnibus Second Amendment rights bill allows most people to carry concealed firearms without a permit, expands the “castle doctrine” for self-defense, at home and strengthens “stand your ground” laws, among other provisions. ACU supports the founders’ belief in the Second Amendment and supported this bill. The Senate voted to override the Governor’s veto of the bill on September 14, 2016 by a vote of 24-6.

11. SB 844 Liability for Livestock Trespass. This bill attempts to provide a reasonable legal standard of requiring the owner of livestock to be proven “negligent” if his or her livestock trespasses onto another’s property. The current standard holds that livestock owners are “strictly liable”, a standard associated with inherently dangerously animals like lions and tigers. ACU believes in due process for all and supported this bill. The Senate vote to override the Governor’s veto of the bill on September 14, 2016 by a vote of 24-7.

12. SB 847 Tort Reform. This bill changes the law in personal injury cases so that the award reflects the actual cost to the injured person. Currently, the rules exclude evidence showing that the injured person has received other compensation from insurance or worker’s compensation. ACU supports tort reform and supported this bill. The Senate voted to override the Governor’s veto of the bill on September 14, 2016 by a vote of 24-6.
