On Friday, Tim Sampson with Missouri News Horizon reported that the so-called “Facebook Fix” was signed into law by Nixon, which modifies the rules for student-teacher online communications as defined in the Amy Hestir Student Protection Act, which passed earlier this year.

Nixon added the issue to the agenda for the special session, asking that lawmakers repeal the language from the bill.
