Representative Jeff Myers presented House Bill 2,922, which would update Missouri’s right‑to‑try language to mirror federal changes expanding eligibility from strictly 'terminal illness' to include certain debilitating conditions. Myers told the committee that prior versions of similar legislation have passed through both chambers in different forms and that the bill clarifies scope, including an explicit statement that Schedule I controlled substances would not be permitted under the law until state statute is changed.
The chair opened the public comment period and recorded no witnesses in favor, opposition or for informational purposes for HB 2,922; the committee concluded that hearing with no testimony entered and no vote or committee action recorded in the transcript.
