COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – COVID-19 tests recommended by doctors now must be free to
Missouri patients under a new law. The law was among several Gov. Mike Parson
signed Monday. Other measures signed by Parson will require hospitals to perform
rape kits when needed. Currently, some sexual assault survivors must travel
hours to get a rape kit. Vaping will be banned in and around public schools
beginning Aug. 28. Another law that takes effect at the end of August will ban
edible medical marijuana shaped like fruit or other shapes that might appeal to
children.
