A bill filed by House Minority Leader Crystal Quade would reimburse Missouri public schools for any legal costs faced for fighting lawsuits filed by Attorney General Eric Schmitt.
Schmitt has sued 45 school districts for enacting mask mandates during a record surge in COVID-19 cases.
Quade, who’s a Democrat from Springfield, says the lawsuits are a shameless political stunt.
Schmitt, a Republican, is running for U.S. Senate.
