JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Senate has passed a bill that would add requirements for expert witnesses’ testimony.

Senators voted 20-10 in favor of the bill Thursday. It now heads to the House.

Republican bill sponsor Sen. Mike Parson says there have been cases when expert witnesses gave opinions beyond their knowledge. His bill says experts’ opinions must be based on sufficient facts and reliable principles and methods.

Bipartisan opponents say the bill could increase court costs.

Current Missouri law applies primarily to the facts presented to a jury, not the way an expert interprets those facts.

The proposal wouldn’t apply to juvenile courts or family courts.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Voters would need to show photo identification at the polls under a measure passed by the Missouri House.

House members voted 114-39 in favor of the bill Thursday. The vote fell along party lines.

The House also Thursday voted 116-40 for a proposed amendment to the Missouri Constitution to allow for such a requirement. Missourians would need to approve a change to the Constitution.

The amendment would be necessary because the state Supreme Court in 2006 ruled that a photo ID requirement wasn’t narrowly tailored and was an undue burden on voters.

Republican supporters say photo identification would prevent possible fraud. Opponents, primarily Democrats, say it could disenfranchise poor and minority voters.

The measures now head to the Senate for approval, where similar legislation is pending.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A second lawsuit has been filed over the Rams’ move to Los Angeles, this time by holders of personal seat licenses who say they should retain their right to seat licenses and season tickets in California.

The suit was filed last week in St. Louis County. Messages seeking comment from the Rams were not returned.

The suit alleges that the PSL agreement is valid through 2025, but does not stipulate where the games are played. It seeks class-action status for more than 30,000 other PSL holders who retained their licenses through the 2015 season.

Another lawsuit accuses Rams owner Stan Kroenke and chief operating officer Kevin Demoff of deceiving fans by claiming the team had no intention of leaving St. Louis, violating Missouri’s Merchandising Practices Act.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Board of Regents has adopted a new policy for concealed weapons on state university campuses that will continue some restrictions for gun owners.

The board adopted the policy unanimously Wednesday. It will take effect in July 2017, when state law will no longer allow them to bar concealed weapons from buildings unless those buildings have security measures such as metal detectors.

The new policy prohibits the open carrying of guns on state university campuses. It also says that when guns are kept in cars or dormitories, they must be secured.

The policy requires each university to come up with detailed policies on the safe storage of weapons.

The regents developed the policy amid strong criticism of the state law from many faculty, staff and students.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Two proposals aimed at adding requirements for voting are moving forward in the Missouri House.

Lawmakers in a voice vote Wednesday gave initial approval to a constitutional amendment and a bill aimed at requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls.

Republicans defeated Democrats’ attempts to add more forms of acceptable photo ID and automatically register driver’s license applicants to vote.

Democrats say the measures could disenfranchise thousands of poor and minority voters.

Republicans say there are safeguards against that. For instance, Missouri would pay for documents needed for a driver’s license, such as a birth certificate. The bill includes other exceptions to the proposed photo identification requirement.

The measures still need a final vote to pass the House. Voters would have to approve the constitutional amendment.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Child advocates say Nebraska is locking up more teenagers than necessary and failing to track how often they place them in solitary confinement.

The Legislature’s Judiciary Committee heard testimony Wednesday on two measures that would reform the way the state handles juveniles in custody. One measure by Senator Patty Pansing Brooks of Lincoln would create a standard for reporting solitary confinement for juveniles.

Advocates say it’s essential the state adopts consistent policies in order to limit the practice.

The second bill by Senator Bob Krist of Omaha would allow a juvenile to be placed in a locked detention facility only as a last resort.

Neither bill drew opposition.

The bills are LB 675 and LB 845.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the death penalty sentences for three Kansas men sends their cases back to the state’s highest court.

The justices ruled Wednesday that the Kansas Supreme Court was wrong to overturn the sentences of Jonathan and Reginald Carr, and Sidney Gleason in a separate case. The Carr brothers killed four people and wounded a fifth in 2000 in Wichita. Gleason killed two people in 2004 in Great Bend.

The Kansas attorney general’s office says the Kansas Supreme Court will determine whether additional proceedings are necessary.

Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett says it would have been difficult for the victims’ families to go through a new sentencing.

But Gleason and Jonathan Carr’s attorney, Sarah Johnson, says there are “definitely some issues” that remain to be addressed.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A southwest Kansas man has claimed a $1 million Powerball cash prize. KSNW-TV reports that the Garden City winner who is remaining anonymous collected the prize Wednesday morning. He matched the first five numbers, but not the Powerball to win the large cash prize in the Jan. 13 Powerball drawing.

The Garden City winner picked his own winning numbers on a $10 ticket. For selling the ticket, a Food Mart 3 store in Garden City is eligible to receive a $1,000 selling bonus.

A Manhattan woman also has claimed a $50,000 cash prize from the Jan. 13 Powerball drawing.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Omaha Board of Education has approved an update to sex education standards after months of debate.

The board voted unanimously Wednesday to approve the new standards in elementary and middle schools. For the high school standards, one board member opposed.

The approval marks the first time this curriculum has been updated in nearly 30 years.

The new standards include discussion of sexual orientation and gender roles, as well as abortion and emergency contraception. It also includes lessons on social media, bullying and harassment.

The new model still stresses that abstinence is best for preventing pregnancy and sexually-transmitted diseases.

With a full board room Wednesday, the board voted to limit testimony to one hour. Ten of the 13 people who testified opposed the changes.
