JEFFERSON CITY, MO (AP) - Prison sentences for Missouri juveniles convicted of first-degree murder remain uncertain because lawmakers did not pass a new sentencing scheme before adjourning.

Under state law, people under 18 convicted of first-degree murder are automatically sentenced to life without parole. But a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision said such automatic sentences are unconstitutional.

The high court said states had to consider an offender's upbringing and role in the crime before sentencing a juvenile to life without parole.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO (AP) - A proposal to study the effects of mandatory health insurance coverage for eating disorders is awaiting the signature of Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon.

Lawmakers approved the legislation last week before adjourning their annual session.

The bill would require the Joint Committee on Legislative Research to do an actuarial analysis of the costs associated with the potential coverage mandate. The analysis would also cover a possible mandate for orally-administered cancer medications.
