MNEA Report of the Veto Session
Why Must I vote?
The Results of the Missouri Veto Session:
LEGISLATURE OVERRIDES PHOTO ID VETO
The legislature overrode Governor Nixon's veto and approved HB 1631 (Alferman), the implementing legislation for the proposed photo ID voter mandate placed on the November 2016 ballot by HJR 53 (Dugger). HB 1631 will not be enforced unless voters approve HJR 53, a constitutional change that would authorize legislation mandating photo ID for voting.
The House approved the measure by a party-line vote of 115-41, while the Senate approved the bill by a nearly party-line vote of 23-8. Sen. Bob Dixon joined the minority party members in opposing the bill.
Missouri NEA believes voting is a constitutional right that should not be restricted by unnecessary voter photo identification requirements or other additional barriers to the voting franchise. Similar bills enacted in several other states have recently been overturned by federal court ruling. The Association opposed both measures.
LEGISLATURE OVERRIDES ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE VETO
The legislature overrode Governor Nixon's veto and approved SS#2/SCS/HCS/HB 1432 (Vescovo). The bill requires a hearing to be held within 60 days if a public employee is placed on administrative leave to determine if the employee engaged in misconduct. The final version contains an extension up to 180 days for good cause, but with no definition of cause.
The House approved the measure by a vote of 113-42, while the Senate vote was 23-8. Sen. Kurt Schaefer joined the minority party members in opposing the bill.
The bill may force school boards to make determinations regarding the status of employees placed on administrative leave before necessary investigations are complete. The confusing language of the bill is also likely to trigger costly litigation to resolve the uncertainty created by this new law. The Association opposed the bill.

The national polls show a race tighter than it has ever been before, a sign that Trump is bridging the gap that has separated the two nominees in recent weeks. Some polls give Clinton or Trump slight edges - and one even shows the race tied. Here are the results for Missouri, showing how all of the Presidential candidates rank
- Missouri Emerson Trump 37, Clinton 34, Johnson 7, Stein 6 (Trump +13)
