Missouri Supreme Court

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey had asked the judges to review a temporary pause on the enforcement of the state’s near-total ban on abortion and other regulations designed to make the procedure more difficult to obtain.

The court ruled 6-1 that counties cannot levy a 3% tax on marijuana dispensaries in cities and towns – only in unincorporated areas.

The Legal Roundtable also discussed a settlement with the family of a visiting teen volleyball player whose legs were amputated and attempts to remove St. Louis Sheriff Alfred Montgomery from office.

Attorneys say tornado victims are unlikely to prevail in suing over St. Louis’ siren failure.

Two rulings from a Kansas City judge had allowed abortions in the state to resume while a challenge to its near-total ban proceeded to trial.

A dispensary in St. Louis County sued over the tax levied by both Florissant and St. Louis County.

Proposition A increased the state minimum wage and mandated that employees accumulate paid sick leave based on hours worked.

The appeal came right after Gov. Mike Kehoe signed a bill that gives the attorney general the right to appeal temporary pauses against state laws or constitutional provisions.

Voters approved Proposition A by 15 percentage points and more than 445,000 votes.

A 2021 Missouri law expanded claims of "actual innocence" beyond death penalty cases. It led to the release of Chris Dunn and others wrongfully convicted.
