Small Change Moves Legislation Along

Missouri's House spent hours in legislation debating a bill whose major problem was language.

Tammara Porter has more from Jefferson City.

Missouri's Equal Pay Act has split Republicans and Democrats.

Many Democrats say the hold up was due to disgruntled Republicans.

But Republican St. Louis County Representative David Levin says the bill was a good idea--the language was not.

An amendent has been added to change the meaning of the bill to equal pay for equal jobs.

The bill has about one month to pass in the House before the end of this session.

From the capital, I'm Tammara Porter.
