1Opinion of the CourtPaul C. Wilson, Judge
The Missouri Municipal League (“MML”) filed this lawsuit challenging the validity of section 302.341.2, RSMo Supp. 2013, as enacted in House Bill 103 (2013) (“HB103”). The circuit court denied MML’s claims, and MML appeals. But, after this case was briefed, argued, and submitted, the General Assembly passed and the Governor signed Senate Bill 5 (2015) (“SB5”).
