for the Missouri Legislature

2009-2010 Conservation Scorecard



Dear Friends of Missouri’s Environment:

“We care and we’re watching.”

That’s the message we are sending to every state legislator.

The millions of Missourians who care about safeguarding

our vital natural resources are watching how our lawmakers

represent their values in Jefferson City. That’s why MVC

publishes its yearly Conservation Scorecard – to hold state

senators and representatives accountable for their votes

on key environmental bills that arise during the annual

legislative session. Their decisions help determine the purity

of our water and air; the energy efciency of our buildings;

the fate of our climate; the health of our citizens; and the

energy sources that power our homes and businesses. What

could be more important?

This sixth edition of our non-partisan Conservation

Scorecard will help you know if your elected ofcial s reect

your conservation values – it reviews the votes of every state

legislator on key environmental bills in 2009 and 2010.

After you consult our Vote Chart (p. 9), please call or write

your representatives to let them know what you think of their

voting record. It’s vitally important they hear from you.

Missouri needs leaders with the vision to create a safe, clean

environment for all of us. Thanks for doing your part.

Sincerely,

Liz Forrestal

Executive Director

2010 SUCCESSES:

Property Assessed Clean Energy

(PACE):

PACE is a relatively new nancing

system intended to help building

owners deer the upront costs o

energy eciency improvements or

renewable energy installations.

Te costs are paid back over 15-

20 years via a special property tax

assessment. PACE policies reduce

energy use and greenhouse gas

emissions, save ratepayers money,

create jobs in the energy and building

retrot trades, and incur no cost to

the state. No wonder PACE has been

adopted in more than 20 other states.

PACE had bi-partisan support in

Jeerson City. Originally introduced

by Rep. Holsman and Rep. Storch (HB

2178 and HB 2298), the measure was

eventually added to Rep. Schoeller’s

About Tis Scorecard

Te 2009-2010 Conservation Scorecardis divided into three major sections:

(Important note: the Vote Chart does notinclude all bills that MVC tracks. Somedie in committee beore coming or a votein the ull chamber. Some are omnibus

bills that eature a range o measures –some good, some bad – and we omit suchambiguous votes. For instance, our end-o-session victory on the PACE measure,

which helps Missourians invest in energy eciency, was part o the omnibus bill HB1692 which had other less-than-desirablesections. So we did not score votes on thisbill.)

omnibus energy bill (HB 1871) and

it passed the House 137 to 9. While

PACE and the rest o the omnibus

bill was very popular, only one

Senator opposed it in committee, Sen.

Ridgeway. In a last minute reprieve at

the end o session, Sen. Bray amended

PACE to HB 1692. Te Governor

signed the bill into law in early July

-- a true victory or MVC and our

partners.

Combined Animal Feeding Operations

(CAFOs):

In an ongoing battle between

pollution-intensive actory arms

and local communities who wantto regulate them, Missouri Votes

Conservation continues to work hard

to maintain local community control

o CAFOs. We believe counties

should have the right to regulate how

their land is used.

REVIEW OF 2010 AND 2009 ENVIRONMENAL LEGISLAIO

Index Reviewof2010and2009

EnvironmentalLegislation p.22010LegislativeStandouts p.7 VoteChart p.9



Tis year saw the introduction to many bills and amendments o “agricultureadvisory committees” consisting o pro-CAFO organizations that wouldoverride local control. Rep. Harris

introduced Amendment 1 to SB 795,which would have given local armersa voice on these “agriculture advisory committees.” Tis amendment wasnot adopted.

In the end, the agriculture advisory

committee provision was successully removed rom all legislation, or ailedto pass.

Agricultural Nuisance Suits: Rep. Guernsey attempted to protectCAFOs by introducing protection rom“nuisance” lawsuits. In amendment

8 o HB 795, property owners whoseproperties were aected by CAFOswould only be able to recover their lostproperty value, not or “annoyances,discomort, sickness, or emotionaldistress.” Ti s amendment wasthankully not adopted.

Urban Farming: Rep. Holsman introduced HB

1848, the Urban Farming askorcebill, which passed the House 131-30 and later passed the S enateunanimously. Te taskorce will makerecommendations regarding urbanarm co-ops, vertical arming and

sustainable communities.

Water Pollution Permit Fees: Missouri’s water pollution permit eeshave not been increased since 2000.And while current ees are insucientor adequate monitoring andenorcement o water quality,HB 2109

introduced by Rep. Ruzicka wouldat least have extended the current eestructure. Te bill passed the House141-8. Unortunately Sen. Lager loaded up the measure with damaginglanguage on water quality that jeopardized the bill. Te result: thewater permit ee system is set to expireat the end o 2010. Tis means thealready underunded water programis in danger o a ederal takeover romthe EPA.

Federal Climate Change Regulation: HCR 46 and SCR 46, introduced by

Rep. Funderburk and Sen. Stouerrespectively, called on Missouri’sCongressional delegation to opposethe ederal EPA’s ability to regulateCO2 and other greenhouse gasses.While the resolutions were non-binding, they provided a orum orclimate deniers to tell Washington,

DC, that Missouri doesn’t considerclimate change a serious problem.Te resolutions passed both chambers.

Complete Streets: Complete Streets policies call orpublic entities to consider bicycleand pedestrian transportation whendeveloping or upgrading streets andhighways. HCR 67, introduced by Rep. Sutherland, asks the MissouriDepartment o ransportation toinvestigate creating road systems thatare open to all modes o transportation.MVC was pleased this measure passedthe ull House this year and is hopeul it

will pass both chambers next year.

Landlls: Yard waste is currently banned romMissouri landlls, reeing up space ornon-biodegradable and non-recyclablewaste. Te diverted yard waste isthen composted and used in homesand arms across the state. HB 1861 called or yard waste to be returnedto landlls. Te increased organicmatter in landlls would have increasedmethane production, a greenhouse gas.Fortunately, the measure wasnot adopted.

Dirty Secrets:In a recurring theme, Rep. Bivins onceagain introduced his audit privilege (aka“Dirty Secrets”) bill. HB 1974 wouldhave permitted companies that sel-report environmental spills and otherincidents to receive immunity rom prosecution.

As it has in the past, MVC once againopposed audit privilege. In an attemptto by-pass our opposition, Rep. Bivinsattached it to HB 1871, an energy omnibus bill we supported. Tankully,Rep. Rucker once again oered anamendment to delete it on the foor.

Renewable Energy Denition: When Missourians approvedProposition C in 2008, they toldutilities that we want our electricity produced with more renewableenergy, specically wind and solar

power. MVC believes the originalintent o voters should be honored.Tis year saw lawmakers trying toexpand the denition o renewablesto include nuclear energy (HB 1851 sponsored by Rep. Nolte), methaneand thermal depolymerization (SB

848 sponsored by Senator Barnitz).

Te nuclear bill never advanced. Rep.McClanahan oered amendments inthe Agriculture Committee and onthe foor; they did not receive a vote.

Senator Bray tried to improvethe methane measure by oeringan amendment on SB 848 thatwould “ramp up” the renewablestandards portolio o Prop C.Unortunately, her amendment didn’tpass. Te methane measure waseventually absorbed into an omnibusagricultural bill, SB 795, whichpassed both chambers and was sent to

the Governor.

2009 YEAR IN REVIEW: SCORED VOES

Rucker Amendment to HB 978 (Dirty Secrets):

measure (p. 3) rom HB 978.

HB 250 (Horseback Riding on rails):

Te original bill that passed the House was overly

Fortunately, changes made in the Senate (that the

concurred with) made HB 250 an acceptable bill.

Green Building: A bi-partisan eort to pass greenconstruction standards or statebuildings eventually ailed in thelast days o the 2010 session. Reps.McNeil and Schoeller originally co-sponsored HB 1667, which calledor LEED silver standards or newlarge state buildings. It was eventually included in the omnibus energy billHB 1871, which passed the House

137-9. Tough the green buildingmeasure received support in theSenate, opposition to other measuresin the omnibus bill kept itrom passing.

Industrial Energy Efciency: We also managed to line up bi-partisan support or Combined Heatand Power (CHP), a bill that wouldhelp industries conserve energy by re-using waste heat rom theiroperations. Sen. Green and Rep.

Allen introduced SB 957 and HB

2311, respectively. Te measures neveradvanced in either chamber but we’rehopeul they can gain more supportnext year.

Statewide Building Energy Codes:Missouri is currently one o only eightstates without an energy building code.o remedy this, Sen. Bray and Rep.Lampe introduced SB 746 and HB 2183 respectively, which would have establisheda minimum level o energy-smart

construction or all new and signicantrenovation o homes and commercialbusinesses. Property owners would savemoney on more energy-ecient buildings.Both bills died beore reaching the foor.

State Parks:

For the second straight year, the legislatureailed to rescue Missouri’s state parks,many o which are badly in need o inrastructure improvements. Rep. Kelly’s HJR 77, an $800 million bond initiativeor improvements to state parks, acilities

and inrastructure, was tabled beoreit ever made it to committee. With lowtax revenue and pending budget cuts,the legislature was unwilling to take onmore state debt.

2010 DISAPPOINMENS: cont’d



GOOD DEEDS:

Rep. Martin Rucker: Sponsored an amendment removingaudit privilege (p. 3) rom an otherwisegood environmental bill.

Rep. Shane Schoeller:Adopted PACE (p. 2) and LEED silver(p. 4) in his Energy omnibus bill

Sen. Tim Green:Introduced Combined Heat and Powerbill (p. 5) in the Senate

Rep. Sue Allen: Introduced Combined Heat and Powerbill (p. 5) in the House

Rep. Jason Holsman:Introduced PACE (p. 2); sponsoredUrban Farming askorce bill (p. 3)

Rep. Rachel Storch:

Rep. Jeanette Mott Oxord: Opposed anti-climate change bill bothin committee and on House foor (p. 4)

Rep. Chris Kelly:Added state parks improvements tobonding bill (p. 5)

GOODBYE O A CHAMPION OF MISSOURI’S ENVIRONMEN:erm limits have sadly claimed a long-time environmental champion:

Senator Joan Bray . Environmental advocates were ortunate to have

Senator Bray serve as an infuential member o the Senate Commerce,

Consumer Protection, Energy and Environment Committee. With her

10 years o experience in the Missouri House ollowed by another eight

years in the Senate, she was a champion or our causes and had the skill t

keep our legislation moving. Her passion and wealth o experience will b

sorely missed.

How do you know i your state senator or representative is a true

conservation leader, someone who represents YOUR environmental

values in Jeerson City? MVC’s legislative voting record (p. 9) is

one way, but it only tells the story o the bills or amendments that

received a recorded vote. On the ollowing page, we congratulatethose committed lawmakers rom both sides o the aisle who

introduced important bills, who had infuence on committees, or

who sponsored signicant amendments in 2010. We also make note

o “Out o Step” legislators whom we’re hoping will become better

environmental stewards in the uture.

OU OF SEP:Rep. Doug Funderburk: Introduced the anti-climate changeresolution in the House (p. 4)

Sen. Bill Stouer: Introduced the anti-climate changeresolution in the Senate (p. 4)

Sen. Luann Ridgeway: Attempted to block passage o PAC2)

Sen. Brad Lager:Allowed Water Pollution Permits toexpire, putting Missouri’s waters at (p. 4)

Rep. Frank Barnitz: Expanded the denition o “renewain the Prop C renewable energy stato include methane and other enersources (p. 4)

Rep. Jerry Nolte: Expanded the denition o “renewain the Prop C renewable energy stato include nuclear energy (p. 4)
