MO HB2210

Repeals section 192.300, RSMo and enacts a replacement section that removes county commissions' authority to make public health orders, ordinances, rules, and regulations.

Transfers exclusive authority to establish public health orders to county health center boards, which may still create orders to enhance public health and prevent infectious or communicable diseases.

County health center boards may establish reasonable fees to cover costs of implementing health orders, provided fees do not deny services to those unable to pay or impede disease prevention and control.

Requires county health center boards to publish adopted orders in a newspaper for three successive weeks within thirty days of adoption and make copies available at the county clerk's office.

Violations of published county health board orders constitute a misdemeanor; county health boards have authority to prosecute violations.
