The following report is from Insider:
GOP Gov. Mike Parson signed the bill into law over objections from his own administration, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
The Missouri House had a “moment of silent prayer” and recited the Pledge of Allegiance before passing the legislation, which will go into effect on January 1, 2023.
The law states that “no person shall be permitted to use state-owned lands for unauthorized sleeping, camping, or long-term shelters.” The first offense gets a warning, and the second gets a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by 15 days in prison, or a $750 fine, the Post-Dispatch reported.
Cities that don’t “enforce any ordinances prohibiting public camping, sleeping, or obstruction of sidewalks,” can be sued by the Missouri attorney general. Those “with a higher per-capita homelessness rate than the state average will not receive further state funding” until they lower their per-capital homelessness rate or enforce statewide bans, the legislation said.
In May, Valerie Huhn, the Missouri Department of Mental Health Director appointed by Parson, wrote a letter to Gov. Parson’s budget office that the law would have a negative impact on the homeless, according to the Post-Dispatch, who has seen the letter. The governor signed the legislation in June.
When people experiencing homelessness have criminal justice histories, it is difficult to find housing.
Huhn wrote in the letter, according to the Post-Dispatch
The legislation also dictates that cities can only use state and federal funds to build temporary camps for the homeless, instead of permanent housing, the Post-Dispatch reported. Huhn wrote that this too will have a negative impact on the unsheltered community, who may not be able to find living arrangements elsewhere.
Private landlords statewide may choose not to lease to persons experiencing homelessness for a variety of reasons, such as no rental history, no credit or poor credit, or criminal justice histories. Stable housing is a key component of successful recovery.

The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
Proverbs 14:20
Expect more and more of this to happen around the nation, as inflation continues to infinitely rise, supply chains collapse, markets collapse, and on and on. But we’re “booming,” they say (LOL)!
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

As a man with Missouri heritage, I can tell you this Jacob and readers: Missouri is a dump! Just another example of how Christ and King James Bible rejecting America has become it’s not just evident in California and New York. And other Missourians and those from Kansas can tell you the same.
Don’t look it up because it’s anger inducing: those six little whores that caused that girl Destiny Gleason to kill herself, then and their parents are going to suffer God’s judgement for what they’ve done to her (SEE Galatians 6:7)
I am making $162/hour telecommuting. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $21 thousand a month cdc11 by working on the web, that was truly shocking for me, she prescribed me to attempt it simply ,

You know the economy’s booming when homeless people can afford to pay a 750 dollar fine.
Haha that’s a good point, Neil.
We’re such a rich and prosperous nation that inflation is hitting the stars and our economy is in free fall.
How cruel & wicked. Prison for poverty. But rich pimps, crooks & gangsters? I saw the headline & thought it was about abortion! Shame for Missouri. Shame. Poor houses & working prisons for non-violent offenders like VP Kamala Harris specialized in out in California are next. Work camps like they do to those poor enticed immigrants. The working poor who manage to hang on may end up in covid camps or whatever the next biological crisis is they make up & spread. May God have mercy on his people, & grant strength to stand. May some Christians in Missouri step up to the plate for any homeless not so demoralized & wicked that they’re turned from truth, unwilling to work & to try.
Looks like Missouri is about to become the next California and it’s well deserved. Unfriendly, cold people make up most of Missouri, the Show-Me-A-Way-Out-Of-Here state (Missouri is the show-me state) with no compassion, no basic social skills towards “outsiders or the weak,” and they say it’s their culture well it’s a culture of Christ-rejecting hell-bound sinners that reject the King James Bible and the true Jesus and true believers, they despise the old hymns, and they get just as hostile maybe more so than the regular lost people do when you try to actually preach to them.
Missouri is going to become California and boy oh boy, is it deserved. A state that caused that child Destiny Gleason to commit suicide, a state where a bunch of inbred morons kidnapped and scared their own child to “teach him about stranger danger,” and where the Assemblies of God cult are headquartered in Springfield, Missouri – so Missouri deserves to be converted into California with crooked politicians akin to Nancy Pelosi and all!
Missouri is heavily Catholic and Jesuit. How sweet of them for saying a prayer before making the plight of the homeless even more unbearable. Guess the only thing the Führer of Missouri can do is line them up and let his Einsatzgrupen shoot them and throw them is a mass burial pit. I pray that God brings a plague on every one of those legislator’s houses. May they all have a nice hot concentration camp to stay in in Hell if they do not repent for not showing mercy to people who pose no threat to them.
Amen and amen infinity, Liz!
Missouri is heavily Protestant and the Assemblies of God CULT and their satanic seminary Global University are headquartered in Springfield, Missouri BECAUSE of them being Catholic and Jesuit.
Anyone who says that America is a “God fearing nation still being blessed by God” is a first class moron!
