State bill prefiled for the legislative session  2008:

Current Bill Summary

"SB 716 - This act provides that the official dating standard used by
the state of Missouri shall be A.D., or Anno Domini, and B.C., or Before
Christ. Neither the state, nor any political subdivision, shall use any
other designation."

(Obviously, this simple wording does not take into consideration the
fact that state universities and the
geology/environmental/archaeological divisions of the state have a need
of non-Americanized Christian-centric age/date schemes, much less people
who follow other calendars (like observant Jews, Muslims and Orthodox
sects.)

Interestingly the fellow who filed this has has a J.D., (law degree) and
a wife who is a Ph.D. in something. Never let a little education get in
the way of a ludicrous proposal!

Yes, I've already made these points to my local State-Senate-critter.

at first glance this seems like a waste of time . politicians could be
doing smething useful. LIKE IMPROVING THE LOT OF THE PEOPLE. since
they aren't; it means they are ignorant and don't deserve their
positions, lazy and don't deserve their positions, or there is some
agenda . in which case , they don't deserve their positions. religion
is a personal choice. when it becomes public BAD things always happen.
politics and religion are the last resorts of the mentally incompetent.
