Chapter 6 Executive Departments

“The ratification of the 19th amendment here in Missouri was another giant step toward our Founders vision for liberty and equality for all citizens. What a huge honor to celebrate the 100th year anniversary while serving in the General Assembly.” Representative Dottie Bailey (R-110)

“I am grateful to many women who came before me that championed women’s suffrage. Thank you Virginia Minor, an early champion, and to Edna Gellhorn for organizing the ‘walkless, talkless parade’ in St. Louis in 1916. I am proud to travel on the road you paved for us.” Representative Deb Lavender (D-90) 340 OFFICIAL MANUAL

The Missouri Constitution Since achieving statehood and joining the union on August 10, 1821, Missouri has operated under four Constitutions. The first was adopted in 1820 and was presented to Congress before Missouri was allowed to enter the union of states. The state’s second Constitution, born in the bitterness and strife of the Civil War, was drafted and adopted in 1865. It was replaced by a third Constitution only ten years later, in 1875. Missourians approved their current Constitu- tion in 1945, and it has been amended a number of times in order to meet the changing needs of our state and its people. The Constitution of the State of Missouri is published by the Office of Secretary of State pursuant to the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo 2.110). Copies of the Missouri Constitution, which also includes the text of the U.S. Constitution, are available without charge by contacting: Secretary of State John R.

The Missouri Legislature passed a measure in 1998 allowing the commission to raise private contributions to assist in its work, thus enabling the commission to broaden its impact on the service and volunteer communities.

A U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) quarantine facility for the introduction and virus testing of grapes from outside the United States is located at the station. The station’s research and advisory programs have been instrumental in the revival of the Missouri grape and wine industry after Prohibition. Today, special emphasis is given to research on the American and hybrid grape varieties and their wines. The station, centers, winery and distillery, and ranch are units of the William H.

Water Protection Program The department’s Water Protection Program administers clean water and drinking water responsibilities for Missouri.

Representative Representative Clean Water Commission Clean Water Commission For clean water, the program regulates pollutants entering the state’s waters by issuing permits for the construction and operation of wastewater treatment facilities and stormwater discharges. Permits set wastewater treatment levels necessary to protect water quality. These treatment levels are included in permits issued to municipal, industrial and other dischargers. The program evaluates discharge-monitoring and other data to determine whether facilities comply with applicable laws and whether permits are sufficient to protect water quality. The program, with the Divi- sion of Environmental Quality’s regional offices, is responsible for the inspection and monitoring of water contaminant sources and investigates JOHN REECE ALLEN ROWLAND Wastewater Treatment Public Member complaints from the public. If a source violates Representative Clean Water Commission the Missouri Clean Water Law, the program Clean Water Commission works with the facility to correct the problem and may assess penalties if necessary. Water quality standards protect beneficial uses of water such as swimming, maintaining fish and other aquatic life and providing drinking water for people, livestock and wildlife. The program, with the Clean Water Commission, develops water quality standards that provide clear expectations for Missouri water quality and conducts monitoring to determine if the standards are met. Waters that do not meet these standards are placed on the impaired waters (303(d)) list, which provides a focus for special attention to restore water quality in the lakes, streams and CHRIS WIEBERG rivers. Once a waterway is added to the 303(d) Staff Director list, the department develops and implements a Clean Water Commission study to correct the water impairments.
