| Description: We haven't really had the opportunity to see how many minorities really benefit from grants and contracts throughout the state of Missouri. My purpose was basically to put forth a bill that would really give us a look into the minority impact. |
The bill has yet to be assigned to a committee.

One bill would add minority impact to the existing financial and legal matters examined when filing a bill.
Democratic State Representative Talibdin El-Amin of St. Louis City co-sponsors the bill and said in addition to promoting fairness, if passed into law the bill would also provide better oversight of tax dollars.

| Description: What makes this bill particularly a good bill is the element of transparency. I think any time you could heighten or instill a level of transparency in government I think the people benefit; I think government benefits in terms of restoring credibility and trust. |
