Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop A Prepares For The 2013 Labor Day Holiday Travel
Captain Robert L. Powell,
commanding officer of Troop A, Lee’s Summit, MO, announces upcoming plans for
Troop A officers to participate in the 20-Mile Trooper enforcement programs
over the 2013 Labor Day Holiday.
Troop A officers will be
conducting a 20-Mile Trooper project on Interstates 70, 35, 29, 49, and 470,
and U.S. Highway 50 in the Troop A area on August 30, 2013 and September 2,
2013. During this enforcement program,
troopers will be assigned to 20-mile intervals in an effort to step up traffic
enforcement with a goal of reducing traffic crashes over the holiday weekend.
“The Labor Day Holiday is
typically one of the heaviest traveled holidays in Missouri,” stated Captain
Powell. “I would like to urge all
motorists to make sure safe driving is a part of your plans. Make sure everyone is wearing a seat belt,
and never drink and drive. Should you be
celebrating the holiday on the water, I want to remind everyone to ensure they
are wearing an approved life jacket while in a vessel and don’t operate a
vessel while drinking."
The Patrol encourages motorists
and watercraft operators to protect themselves by making sure everyone in the
vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint and everyone
in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life and Wear It!!!
Petition For No Motorcycle Passenger Until 21 Years Of Age
The official ballot title for the initiative petition reads:
One-time costs to state governmental entities could be at least $3,700 with the total potential annual costs being unknown, but probably limited. Local governmental entities expect no potential costs. Possible increased revenue to state and local governmental entities is unknown.
The petition, which would amend Section 302 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, was submitted by Tammy O’Meara, 3500 N Village Dr. STE 140, St. Joseph, MO 64506.
Before any statutory changes can be brought before Missouri voters in the November 2014 election, signatures must be obtained from registered voters equal to five (5) percent of the total votes cast in the 2012 governor's election from six of the state's eight congressional districts.
Signatures on behalf of all initiative petitions for the 2014 ballot are due to the secretary of state’s office by no later than 5 p.m. on May 4, 2014.
Before circulating petitions, state law requires that groups must first have the form of their petition approved by the secretary of state and attorney general. The secretary of state then prepares a summary statement of no more than 100 words and the state auditor prepares a fiscal impact statement, both of which are subject to the approval of the attorney general. When both statements are approved, they become the official ballot title.
