79th District State Representative LaKeySha Bosley represents all or part of the 7th Ward’s Fox Park, Lafayette Square, McKinley Heights, and Tower Grove East neighborhoods.
Representing all 7th Ward neighborhoods in the Missouri Senate is 5th District State Senator Jamilah Nasheed
In gun related legislation…
Senator Nasheed filed SB 543 to create new provisions relating to firearm restraining orders.
Rep. Bosley filed HB 1586 to regulate the sale of firearm ammunition.
Rep. Aldridge filed HB 1824 to require a firearm owner to report lost or stolen firearms.
In St. Louis Public Schools related legislation…
Senator Nasheed filed SB 626 to require every school in the St. Louis City School District to use a response-to-intervention tiered approach to reading instruction for students struggling to read.
Senator Nasheed filed SB 627 to elect the St. Louis City Board of Education from seven districts.
Senator Nasheed and Rep. Aldridge are sponsoring SB 542 and HB 1780 to restore voting rights to persons convicted, served their time, and released but on probation or parole.
Senator Nasheed also filed SJR 35, a constitutional amendment to require redistricting to use last residence of persons incarcerated instead of where they are incarcerated.
Rep. Bosley is also sponsoring HJR 83, a constitutional amendment to limit votes for county mergers to the counties affected by the merger. This is legislation was filed last year and was passed out of committee. The legislation was and is a counter measure to Rex Sinquefield funded Better Together Plan to give statewide voters the right to dictate what kind of government St. Louis City and St. Louis County should have.
Rep. Aldridge has filed HB 1781 to authorize a tax credit for establishing a new business in a distressed community.
