HB 1758 would permanently adopt daylight saving time as Missouri's standard time, eliminating seasonal clock changes. The bill exempts Missouri from federal daylight saving rules and requires the state to stop observing spring/fall clock shifts after one final transition. It also states Missouri would align with any federal standard if the government later adopts year-round daylight saving. This change directly affects all residents and businesses across Missouri by making daylight saving time the permanent time standard.
HB 1887 creates civil penalties for the unauthorized disclosure of "intimate digital depictions," which are defined as digitally altered images showing genitals, pubic areas, sexual conduct, or bodily fluids. It directly affects individuals whose intimate digital images are shared without their valid consent, including minors and those with diminished capacity. Key provisions require written consent in plain language for disclosure, allow civil lawsuits for damages (including up to $150,000 in liquidated damages), and permit court-ordered injunctions to stop further disclosure. The law excludes disclosures made in good faith to law enforcement or in legal proceedings.

HJR 173 proposes a constitutional amendment to eliminate Missouri's state individual income tax by 2031 if specific revenue goals are met, requiring the legislature to set a tax rate below 1.4% for any tax year starting in 2031 or later. It also restricts expanding sales and use taxes to new services beyond what was taxed as of January 1, 2015, unless the expansion is explicitly tied to reducing the income tax. To offset revenue changes from any tax base expansion, local governments must adjust property taxes, earnings taxes, or sales tax rates by July 1, 2029, without reducing school funding. The amendment further mandates that sales tax rates be adjusted annually to maintain pre-2029 revenue levels, adjusted for inflation. This amendment requires voter approval before taking effect.

HCR 23 is a non-binding resolution from the Missouri legislature calling on Missouri's members of Congress to support state authority over election rules. It urges them to advocate for constitutional amendments protecting states' rights to set election laws and campaign finance policies, based on the Tenth Amendment. The resolution emphasizes that states, not the federal government, should determine election processes and campaign finance rules to reflect local needs. It does not create new laws but formally requests Missouri's congressional delegation to champion this position. This resolution is part of Missouri's broader stance on preserving state control over elections.
HB 2302 requires the state Department of Corrections to provide specific services to inmates before their release from state custody. It mandates the department to provide documentation for post-release employment (including vocational records, work history, and a resume) and coordinate with the Department of Revenue to issue state-issued identification cards to inmates without current IDs. The bill applies to most inmates released within the state, with exceptions for those aged 65+ or in medical parole. Identification cards issued under this law are valid for four years, non-renewable, and funded through department resources or inmate trust funds.
HB 3175 allows Missouri residents with a health condition or disability that impairs communication with law enforcement to request a special designation when registering a motor vehicle. To qualify, applicants must provide certification from a licensed physician or psychologist confirming the condition will likely persist for at least five years. If approved, the designation is added to the state law enforcement database (MULES), alerting officers during interactions. The designation remains active for five years and requires renewal with updated certification, with the state highway patrol required to educate law enforcement on its use.
