I hope you all are right about the bill not passing. I've become a little pessimistic.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

It won't pass. Remember this is a state that came very close to having a democratic governer even though the guy elected governer was the one in charge of the election.

They also voted for a dead guy for senator instead of John Ashcroft.

And wasn't it Missouri that elected a dead guy over John Ashcroft?
Somebody out thataway's got some sense, and Gud can't cast that many votes himself, can he??

Yay nerve block!
The reason they want to move? So they can own property.
My friend's husband found a new job that is in a place with a lower cost of living (and they lived there before and liked it), better schools, a shorter commute, people he's worked with before and likes, and even though she has to leave her job here, they come out financially ahead with this move. It's a no-brainer.
Hmph.

Not true. The Fourteenth Amendment applies the Bill of Rights, including the First Amendment, to the states.
Smarty lawyer is, of course, correct -- I was just thinking of the original part of the Constitution and not the amendments. And I agree that it's way unlikely that this will get anywhere even if it did get to the court, but, yeah, nutso state leg.
(But, sadly, I know people who would just love to ditch the 14th.)
