Prop A {Q&A} S


ince the November elections, the MDA office has received several inquiries from


MDA members about the ramifications of Proposition A. Recently, MDA’s legal firm, Husch Blackwell, released a much-awaited alert on Prop A call Missouri’s New Minimum Wage and Paid Sick Leave Law: Frequently Asked Questions. We state “much-awaited” due to the concern from employers, includ- ing member dentists, about the burdensome consequences its passage may create for small business owners. The advocacy of the MDA and other associations encouraged this informative piece. In addition, the Missouri Chamber also created an FAQ document. The MDA will continue to provide any updates on this legislation, which is already being challenged. Access the alert at bit. ly/49Fdytl. Access the FAQ at bit.ly/49Gpn2a.
