Judge Rules Missouri House Can't Impose Retroactive Penalties

Circuit Judge Brian Stumpe ordered Missouri House to return $22,500 in seized salary to former Rep. Wiley Price.
Judge ruled House lacked authority to impose retroactive financial penalties after 2021 session began.
House voted to censure Price and deduct $22,500 following 2020 misconduct allegations.
Price now works for state Sen. Karla May after losing 2022 Democratic primary.
At least 158 lawmakers accused of misconduct since 2017, including 30 Congress members since 2006.
