The Missouri House approved a $4.6 billion supplemental spending bill Wednesday that would give all state workers a pay raise. But lawmakers refused to go along with Gov. Mike Parson’s plan for a $15 an hour base wage for all state employees, instead offering that salary only to select workers. The bill would also provide money to support the Medicaid system through the end of the fiscal year and distribute nearly $2 billion in federal COVID-19 to schools. The bill passed by 112-8 vote, with 30 members voting present. A final vote will be needed to send the bill to the Senate. Only state workers in direct care jobs in four departments – Corrections, Public Safety, Mental Health, and Social Services – would be included in the plan to set $ 15 as the floor for state wages. For other state jobs, the floor would be $12 an hour, the rate that will be the minimum wage for private employers starting Jan. 1, 2023.
