July 12, 2007 - Gov. Matt Blunt visits The Shelter in Columbia where he signs bi-partisan legislation to enhance laws protecting women and children harmed at the hands of others. His action significantly strengthens laws governing the rights of domestic violence and sexual assault victims.
"It is a fundamental duty of our state government to protect Missourians from violent criminals. I am pleased to enact this important, bi-partisan legislation that toughens sentences, helps maintain victims' dignity, and protects safe harbors, like The Shelter, designed to assist those in danger."
