Missourians approved Proposition A, which raised the minimum wage and mandated paid sick leave, with 57% of the vote. The legislation passed by the Missouri House entirely repeals the mandated sick leave portion.

Missouri’s voter-approved paid sick leave requirements and a minimum wage increase are another step closer to being thrown off course. The state House of Representatives has passed a bill that would get rid of the sick leave mandate and delay the $15 per hour minimum wage increase to 2028.
