Rep. Steven Roberts of St. Louis: House Bill 2218

During the 2018 legislative session, St. Louis Rep. Steven Roberts sponsored several House bills that he believes are in the best interest of all Missourians, including a bill that would abolish the death penalty.


Rep. Steven Roberts Jr. of St. Louis explains that House Bill 2218 would repeal provisions that allow courts to issue the death penalty as punishment and would require courts to change the sentencing on anyone currently facing the death penalty who were sentenced prior to August 28, 2018.

A state legislator who represents portions of St. Louis, Rep. Steve Roberts works hard to advocate for solutions that benefit his constituents, as well as people throughout Missouri. House Bill 2218 was referred to the House Committee on Crime Prevention and Safety during the 2018 legislative session.
