Governor Completes Session Housekeeping

Today Governor Blunt cleared his desk of the remaining bills passed during the 2007 legislative session.

Among bills signed into law: longer prison sentences for selling drugs near parks and abusing patients at mental health facilities.

Another expands state aid to children with metabolic disorders and a third funds loan forgiveness programs to certain nurses and veterinarians.

The Governor also signed a bill to impose more state oversight on title insurance companies.

On Thursday, he signed a bill giving more protections to women who are victims of sex crimes.
