Missouri repeals voter-approved paid sick leave law
Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) signed a measure Thursday that repeals the state’s guaranteed paid sick leave law, less than a year after nearly 58 percent of voters approved it.
In a news release, the governor’s office described the voter-initiated paid sick leave law as “onerous” and harmful to small businesses, because it dictates “when and how paid leave must be provided” and requires “burdensome record keeping and compliance obligations.”
“Today, we are protecting the people who make Missouri work — families, job creators, and small business owners — by cutting taxes, rolling back overreach, and eliminating costly mandates,” Kehoe said in a statement.
