An extension to disability legislation provides Missouri's disabled with low rate loans

A House committee substitute on perfected legislation will benefit Missouri's disabled. Erin Guyer has the story from the Capitol.

Senator Harold Caskey's proposal will provide better access to adaptive telecommunications equipment. Representative Bill Boucher has extended this measure by adding a legislative substitute that offers Missouri's disabled low rate loans. Diane Golden, Director of Missouri Assistive Technology, says the bill will provide better resources for the disabled.

Those in support of the bill see the added measure as making a good thing even better.

From Jefferson City, I'm Erin Guyer.
