Missouri lawmakers began filing bills for the 2010 legislative session Tuesday.

According to The Associated Press, Gov. Jay Nixon and legislative leaders hope to address economic development again this year. Senate President Pro Tem Charlie Shields, R-St. Joseph, has filed an ethics bill in response to several legislators who resigned for ethical reasons this year.

The AP also reported the legislature hopes to again address autism insurance coverage for children, which did not pass last year.

A few legislators will push for an expansion of the ban on texting while driving, and the issue of so-called abortion coercion has been filed again.

What would you like to see in this year's legislative session? What would you not like to see?
