JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri House Democrats file bills to block payday lenders from near military bases and to boost military salaries for state workers.
Most state employees called to active duty lose their state pay after three weeks. Under the legislation, state government would supplement military pay to keep their salaries the same. Lawmakers and judges get military pay, plus full state salaries.
The bill is sponsored by House member Stephen Webber, D-Columbia. Webber, who served in Iraq, estimated that 280 workers would lose about $3.8 million this year.
Jason Kander, D-Kansas City, has filed legislation that prohibits payday lenders from within one mile of a military base. Kander, who served in Afghanistan, also would make child custody and visitation changes temporary for those deployed out of state.
