As of Wednesday, it is unclear where the measure heads next and whether Republican Gov. Mike Parson will sign it into law. 

The provision in the bill relating specifically to the two drugs was added to a larger piece of legislation that addresses professional licensing in the state. Republican state Sen. Rick Brattin added the measure after speaking with doctors he says are afraid of losing their licenses for prescribing the drugs.
