The two associations are supporting representative Dennis Wood and senator Jack Goodman when they produce bills overturning the new law next legislative session.
Republican Representative Dennis Wood opposed the move and says he plans to introduce a bill to change the law back to the way it was before Jetton's amendment.
Sen. Jeff Smith, D-St. Louis City, brought forth an amendment that garnered an outburst of laughter from lawmakers. Also quickly withdrawn after being read, it would have named Sen. Jack Goodman, R-Mt. Vernon, as the state's invertebrate. Goodman was handling the crayfish bill in the Senate for its sponsor, Rep. Dennis Wood, R-Kimberling City.
