Missouri Lakes Area State Representative Brian Seitz is happy with legislation passed in 2023 and hopes to see more in 2024 that will benefit the region.
During Seitz's recent visit to KRZK's "Ozarks Now" program, he talked about the Entertainment Investment Act that will help create incentives for entertainment companies to produce films and television shows in Missouri, similar to what other states like Georgia and Oklahoma already have in place.
Seitz also talked about the Save Women Sports Act also passed and signed by Governor Mike Parson to protect the fairness of competition between men and women.
Seitz also discussed some bills he has pre-filed for 2024 including the Personhood Bill designed to represent life prior to birth. Seitz also has refiled a bill that would proportion distributions of transportation tax funds to come back to areas based on traffic size instead of population size. Seitz says visitor areas like Branson, and Lake of the Ozarks for example have lower base populations than the number of visitors.
