Caregiving, financial resilience, utility rate hikes, and voting rights were top of the ticket issues for the 2016 Missouri General Assembly - and AARP Missouri was in the thick of it all. Whether legislation was voted up or down, AARP Missouri was fighting for members and their families on legislation that matters.

Following is a menu of issues that AARP worked on during the legislative session:

  • The CARE Act
  • Increases to the Asset Limit
  • Nurse Practitioner Scope of Practice
  • Work and Save
  • Utilities (electricity, gas and water)
  • Voting Rights

A full legislative session wrap-up is available by Missouri End of Session WrapUp 2016.
