| Description: "It's really nice to say we recognize these people, they're special. Therefore, you need to offer them something free. And I'm not sure how much that costs us." |
The bill's sponsor, Jamilah Nasheed of St. Louis City said that the bill would cost the state nothing but would help thank veterans for their service.
The bill passed 152-3 and will now move to the Senate.
