HB 1844 creates the "Athletic Trainer Compact" to allow licensed athletic trainers to practice across participating states without obtaining separate licenses. It directly affects licensed athletic trainers seeking interstate mobility and patients who gain easier access to these professionals. The key mechanism is mutual recognition of licenses between member states, reducing administrative burdens while preserving each state's regulatory authority over scope of practice. The compact also supports telehealth access, shares disciplinary information, and includes provisions for military members and their families.
HB 1663 requires schools to restrict athletic participation to students competing in sports designated for their biological sex, as documented on their birth certificate or another government record. It prohibits schools from allowing students to compete in sports designated for the opposite biological sex unless no equivalent sport is available for the student's assigned sex. The bill defines "biological sex" based on reproductive biology at birth and specifies that birth certificate documentation must reflect the sex assigned at birth or correct a clerical error. Violations could result in loss of state funding, and affected students or parents may seek legal remedies. The law expires in 2027.
HB 1756 designates the first week of June each year as "June's Week" in Missouri to honor June, a Missouri child with a rare pediatric cancer (ATRT-B), and to raise public awareness about rare pediatric diseases. The bill encourages Missourians to participate in events that promote early symptom recognition and support families affected by these conditions. It is a symbolic observance with no new funding or regulatory changes, solely focused on commemoration and awareness. This is a procedural resolution, not a substantive policy bill.
SB 1207 requires the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority to submit its annual financial report to the Joint Committee on Education. This procedural bill directly affects the Loan Authority by mandating a specific reporting obligation. The key provision is the requirement to file financial reports with the designated legislative committee, rather than another entity. No substantive policy changes or direct impacts on students or institutions are specified. (1 sentence summary as it is procedural)
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 3392 exempts farmers and ranchers purchasing dyed diesel fuel for agricultural use from needing to file a Form 149 sales tax exemption certificate. The bill specifically applies to dyed diesel fuel sold at retail pumps designated for off-road use (like farm equipment), which is clearly marked as such. Retailers selling this fuel are no longer required to collect or maintain physical exemption certificates for these transactions. This change simplifies tax compliance for agricultural diesel purchases under existing sales tax rules.
HB 3088 bans specific clauses in health care provider network contracts that limit patient choice and transparency. It prohibits providers from including "anti-steering" (restricting patient referrals to specific providers), "anti-tiering" (blocking tiered pricing systems), "gag" (hiding price/quality data), or "most-favored-nation" (forcing equal rates across insurers) clauses. Any existing contract with these clauses becomes void, while insurers must act in patients' best interests when designing networks. This directly affects health care providers, insurers, and the patients covered by health benefit plans.
HB 3143 allows counties to propose a local sales tax of up to 0.25% on everyday purchases, but only after voters approve it in an election. If approved, the tax revenue must be used exclusively for senior citizen services, such as meals, transportation, or wellness programs, and cannot fund other county expenses. The tax would be collected separately from other sales taxes, administered by the state revenue department, and deposited into a dedicated "Senior Services Sales Tax Trust Fund." Counties must submit the tax proposal to voters via a specific ballot question asking if they support the tax for senior services.
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.
HB 2304 requires schools to obtain written or electronic parental consent before making specific changes to a child's Individualized Education Program (IEP), including initial placements, placement changes, removal of services, or service minute changes exceeding 25%. It directly affects parents of students with disabilities and local school districts (LEAs), mandating they use a standardized consent form that includes options for full consent, refusal, or partial consent. The bill also requires schools to document consent dates and provide dispute resolution options if parents and schools disagree on IEP changes. Schools must allow parents to visit proposed programs before consenting and notify parents of conduct-related IEP changes per federal rules. The law takes effect July 1, 2027.
