The short-lived provision, which will officially be repealed on August 28, required Missouri employers to provide workers with an hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours of work. Businesses with 15 or more employees were required to provide up to 56 hours of earned paid sick time per year, and businesses with fewer than 15 employees were required to provide at least 40 hours of paid sick time.

...

Throughout the process of pushing H.B. 567 through the Legislature, Missouri Republicans openly voiced contempt for voters who supported the paid sick leave and minimum wage initiative. One GOP lawmaker, state Rep. Mitch Boggs, said, “Of course the people voted for it.”

“It’d be like asking your teenager if he wanted a checkbook,” said Boggs.

“It’d be like asking your teenager if he wanted a checkbook,” said Boggs.

How old is this fuck? I'd bet money that half of teenagers have never seen a checkbook and at least 90% have never written a check.

His page doesn't say, but he has eight children and twelve grandchildren, and his "family enjoys rodeos and living out their cowboy heritage, blending tradition and service in every aspect of their lives."

Some of his most recently sponsored bills:

HB 1691 - (3271H.01I) Prohibits the state and political subdivisions from contracting with employers or companies that engage in discrimination against unvaccinated persons

HB 1692 - (3270H.01P) Creates provisions relating to employer liability for injuries from required immunizations
