Missouri Senate OKs Cell Phone Do-Not-Call List

The Missouri Senate has given first-round approval to a bill that would add cell phone numbers to the state’s Do-Not-Call list. There was little to no debate on it Monday and it was easily approved by voice-vote.  The sponsor, State Senator Will Kraus (R, Lee's Summit), says the measure has failed in recent years because it was always paired with proposals to ban robo-calls.  Find out more here.
