State Senator Karla Eslinger, whose district covers both Stone and Taney counties, sat down with the Branson Tri-Lakes News to talk about the 2023 Missouri legislative session, and multiple successes in guiding legislation through to the governor’s desk.
One of the bills, which Eslinger had stated in December 2022 was her priority for the upcoming session, passed quickly in the session: making it easier for those who need a physical therapist to get the treatment they need without a doctor’s referral.
“It was quite an honor, frankly, for me to see the actions by groups of people in both chambers,” Eslinger said.
