| Description: "Theres a number of concerns that should be raised about this. It was ushered through relatively quickly, but I think we need to question some of the motives in removing the inspection fees at the point of origin." | |
House Transportation Chairman Charlie Dension says the legislation is nothing new.

| Run Time: | 00:16 |
| Description: "If we don't have this bill back in place, then its going to stop in St. Louis, and it doesn't matter if its been trucked or its been on rail, and it would stop right there until we pass the bill that allows it to cross the state of Missouri." | |
No immediate action was taken on the legislation.
