JEFFERSON CITY • After more than seven hours of debate spread over two days, the Missouri Senate endorsed a plan requiring a top Planned Parenthood official to comply with a subpoena seeking information on how the organization disposes of fetal remains.

On a 24-8 vote, senators agreed to move forward with contempt proceedings against Mary Kogut, the CEO of Planned Parenthood of St. Louis and Southwest Missouri and Dr. James Miller of Pathology Services Inc. The vote was along party lines, with Republicans in support and Democrats opposed.

Under the legislation, the two are required under Senate rules to appear in Jefferson City on April 25. Depending on what happens that day, the Senate could choose to pursue charges against the duo carrying possible penalties of $300 in fines and up to 10 days in jail.

The vote marked the latest chapter in an ongoing tussle between Republicans who control the Senate and the abortion provider over documents outlining how fetal tissue is disposed.

Planned Parenthood says a 2015 subpoena issued by a special Senate panel would violate patient privacy laws.

Republican Sen. Kurt Schaefer, who is running for attorney general, said the Senate is not seeking any personally identifiable medical records.
