SB 1770 - This act requires a state agency to refer to Judea and Samaria in any official government material and to not use the term "West Bank". A state agency shall not use state moneys to create any official government material that refers to Judea and Samaria as "West Bank". The act authorizes the director of a state agency to waive the provisions of the act if it is in the best interests of the state and notice is provided to the President Pro Tem of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. This act is identical to SB 1244 (2026). JIM ERTLE
SB 1780 requires businesses selling products marketed with "wood" terms (like oak or maple) to have a decorative surface made of actual solid wood or wood veneer from a tree. It prohibits advertising or selling such products if the decorative surface isn't the claimed wood species. Products already in Missouri inventory by August 28, 2026, may be sold if labeled "This product is not made from wood," but no non-compliant products can enter the state after that date. The Missouri Department of Agriculture will create implementing rules, subject to standard regulatory processes. This law directly affects retailers and manufacturers selling wood-related products within Missouri.
SB 1782, titled "Justin's Law," authorizes law enforcement agencies to use trained canines for detecting illicit narcotics. This bill directly affects police departments and other law enforcement entities by providing a legal basis for employing drug-sniffing dogs during investigations. The key provision is the explicit authorization for canine use in narcotics detection, which becomes part of standard law enforcement procedures. The abstract does not specify additional requirements or limitations for this authorization.
SB 1781 modifies salary schedules for county commissioners in Missouri counties not classified as first-class charter counties or containing cities over 300,000 population. It establishes new salary brackets based on county assessed valuation (e.g., $23,800 for counties under $51 million valuation, up to $53,500 for counties over $10 billion). Commissioners must complete 20 hours of annual training to receive $2,000 of their salary, with training approval from Missouri county commissioners' professional association. The changes take effect after August 28, 2026, for new terms and cannot reduce current salaries.
SB 1746 replaces Missouri's existing judicial election rules with 18 new sections governing how all judges are elected. It requires judicial candidates to file declarations of candidacy with the secretary of state (for statewide judges) or county election authorities (for local judges), specifies filing methods (in-person or certified mail with documentation), and establishes campaign finance fees (e.g., $500 for statewide judges). The bill also includes a waiver process for candidates unable to pay filing fees. This directly affects all judges running for election in Missouri, including supreme court, court of appeals, and circuit judges. The changes apply to all judicial elections, including retention votes for sitting judges.

SB 1733 - This act establishes "Alyssa's Law" and requires local educational agencies (LEAs) to implement wearable panic alert technology and critical incident response mapping. Beginning with the 2027-28 school year and continuing in all subsequent school years, each LEA shall provide each staff person with a wearable panic alert device. The device shall allow for immediate contact with local emergency response agencies, shall be capable of initiating a campus-wide emergency notification, such as a lockdown, and shall include certain other features specified in the act. Upon activation of an alert, the wearable panic alert system shall provide accurate location information at the room and floor level inside the facility and other areas that are part of the school grounds, such as parking lots and playgrounds. Before the school year begins, all school building personnel shall receive training on the emergency protocols and appropriate use of the panic alert device. Additionally, each LEA shall ensure, before the school year begins, that emergency response mapping is made available by the provider of the wearable panic alert device, at no cost to the LEA, to local first responder agencies. Emergency response maps shall be compatible with security software used by the school, be oriented true north, be overlaid on school floor plans, contain site-specific labeling that matches the structure of school buildings, be capable of managing electronic asset tags, have the ability to provide real time updates to changes to the physical structure of buildings, and have ownership retained by the LEA, as provided in the act. An LEA shall ensure all security data are accessible by a local law enforcement agency and coordinate with a local law enforcement agency to establish appropriate access protocols. Any records relating directly to the physical security or fire safety of the school facility or revealing security or fire safety systems held by a local educational agency are confidential and exempt from public disclosure under the Missouri Sunshine Law. Such records may, however, be disclosed to the owner or leaseholder of the school building; as required in furtherance of the LEA's official duties and responsibilities; to another agency in furtherance of that agency's official duties; or upon a showing of good cause before a court of competent jurisdiction. This act is similar to a provision in HCS/HB 3174 (2026). OLIVIA SHANNON
