To my wife and best friend, Erin, and to all moms across Missouri for your love and selflessness — Happy Mother's Day!

Missouri’s current emissions testing program is antiquated, redundant, and costly.

Modern vehicles are engineered to meet strict EPA standards. As older, less efficient vehicles from previous decades leave our roads, the necessity for mandatory testing diminishes. It is time to save the state and drivers both time and money.

I was honored for the second year in a row to have another priority public safety bill signed by our Governor yesterday. Safe communities and supporting our first responders should never be in question. SB 888 modifies provisions relating to the criminal systems.

- Allows for record sharing to enhance the ability of law enforcement and prosecutors to track cases and juvenile adjudication history.
- Adds increased penalties for sexual criminal offenses.
- Supports sentencing reform efforts by streamlining processes and adding transparency in parole eligibility calculation.

"Missouri must address the revolving door for repeat violent offenders—and that includes juveniles," said Governor Kehoe. "I would like to thank the members of the General Assembly for getting this priority legislation to my desk. This bill delivers for law enforcement, prosecutors, and the safety of our communities by giving our criminal justice system the authority to respond to serious juvenile and adult offenses and strengthening sentencing transparency. Together, we are continuing to build on our Safer Missouri public safety initiative."

It was also amazing to have my beautiful wife, Erin, by my side. Added bonus, my father Ray Christ and cousin Michael Christ (his first trip ever to the Capitol) were able to join. I will continue to work hard for our district and region everyday in Jefferson City.
