Legislative Education Project
The Governor´s Council on Disability sponsors the Legislative Education Project (LEP) during the legislative session.
The purpose of the LEP is to educate and motivate individuals by providing opportunities to become more active in creating positive public policies for people with disabilities.
The LEP is available for individuals/organizations that are a novice to the legislative process or need additional learning about the Missouri legislative process regarding disability policies or proposed legislation that impact people with disabilities.
Registration
In 2024 the LEP will consist of four webinars. Each one will discuss the legislative process, communicating with legislators, and current state bills related to disability. These will be provided at no cost to participants. WebEx software will be used to conduct each webinar. If accommodations are needed, please register at least two weeks prior to the webinar date so accommodations can be arranged in a timely matter. They will be offered on the following dates:
