Did we really need this bill?  Couldn't our Representative spend more time making sure that our children are getting the education that they are Federally entitled to?  How about making sure that corporal punishment isn't used in Missouri schools?  How about stopping the use of restraint and seclusion?  Was he just writing bills so that he looked like he was doing something?

HCS HB 1302 -- WOOD BURNING
This bill prohibits the Department of Natural Resources from
regulating the manufacture, performance, or use of residential wood
burning heaters or appliances through a state implementation plan

No rule or regulation establishing or the enforcing performance
standards for residential wood burning heaters or appliances may

businesses. All wood burning furnaces, stoves, fireplaces, and
