Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Planned Parenthood Great Plains vs. State of Missouri ex rel. Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Planned Parenthood Great Plains appealed the circuit court's judgment granting the Attorney General's motion for judgment on the pleadings and enforcing a Civil Investigative Demand (CID). The CID sought information related to an investigation into alleged deception and unfair practices under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act concerning transgender care services. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, holding that the CID was lawfully issued, medical services are considered "merchandise" under the Act, and the Attorney General's authority was not preempted.
