Rep. Steven Roberts, St. Louis Legislator - The Death With Dignity Act

Rep. Steven Roberts Jr.  of St. Louis works hard to do what’s best for the people of his district – and for residents throughout the state of Missouri. 


First elected in 2016, Roberts strives to advocate for and sponsor legislation that not only address important issues affecting his constituents, but that also provides real, lasting solutions for all Missourians.

This includes his recent sponsorship of HB 1319 – a bill that, if passed, would establish the “Missouri Death With Dignity Act.” 



As Rep. Steven Roberts Jr. knows, the Death With Dignity Act provides qualified adults both throughout St. Louis and across the state the opportunity to obtain medication that would end his or her life – given, of course, that the patients in question are Missouri residents, are capable, are coping with a terminal disease and are making a voluntary request to die.

The last action taken on HB 1319 was a referral to the House Health and Mental Health Committee near the end of the 2018 Session.
