He’s also asking senators to consider action against a Democratic colleague who posted and then deleted a Facebook comment expressing hope that President Donald Trump is assassinated.
He’s holding a press conference Thursday to push for a special session.
Republican Gov. Eric Greitens in June vetoed a bill that would have restored funding for in-home and nursing care services for the elderly and people with disabilities.
Spokesman Parker Briden said Greitens hasn’t seen a proposal on the issue but said he’s willing to review any suggested policy changes.
