Missouri legislators try to pass prescription monitoring database bill for the tenth time
JEFFERSON CITY - Missouri is the only state without a database that monitors prescription drugs given to patients, but that could change soon.
On Tuesday, the Missouri Senate passed Senate Bill 63, which establishes a statewide prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) in order to address the ongoing opioid crisis. This is the tenth time a bill like this has gone through the process.
Missouri is the only state without a prescription drug monitoring program and is also 14th in the nation for opioid-involved overdose deaths, as of 2018.
Jim Marshall is the founder of Codyâs Gift, which is a nonprofit organization aiming to educate youth on the dangers of substance abuse. His son, Cody Marshall, died in 2011 after an opioid-involved overdose. Marshall now travels across Missouri to speak about his sonâs story and destigmatize negative attitudes surrounding addiction.

Former Cal punter Bryan Anger, who was released last month by the Houston Texans, agreed to a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday.
However, it is not clear whether Anger will be the Cowboys punter in 2021.
The move once again gives the Cowboys two punters on the roster after the release of Chris Jones last month. Hunter Niswander is still on the roster after being brought in at the midpoint of last season. Niswander was impressive during his first season in the league, but special teams coordinator John Fassel may want some competition at the position.
