Establishes the "Missouri Financial Empowerment Commission"
HB 968 establishes the Missouri Financial Empowerment Commission, a 13-member body tasked with developing financial empowerment plans for specific Missourians. The commission includes state officials, Federal Reserve representatives, industry associations, and community members appointed by the state treasurer. Its key provisions require the commission to create actionable plans targeting low-income residents, people with disabilities, students (as non-mandatory recommendations), military veterans, and seniors. The commission must annually review its progress and operate through bylaws, contracts, and an executive director, with no compensation for members beyond reimbursed expenses.
