Missouri Drug Legislation

By: David Smith

Updated: May 8, 2012

Supporters say the proposal would implement a statewide drug database to help track people who doctor shop for prescriptions. But opponents claim that infringes on patient rights.The Senate has given first round approval to the issue... but a filibuster in the House makes it unlikely those lawmakers will vote on the bill before the end of the session.
