SB 1411, titled "Creates provisions relating to a competitive retail electricity market," is a newly prefilled bill with no specific details provided in the current context. The abstract does not describe concrete policy changes, mechanisms, or affected parties. As the bill is in its earliest stage (prefiled, first reading scheduled for January 2026), no substantive provisions or impacts can be summarized. Further details would be available once the bill advances through committee or receives a formal description.
HB 1882 creates a state tax credit allowing taxpayers to claim 100% of contributions made to eligible non-profit organizations running youth police initiatives in urban areas (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau). The credit applies to tax years starting January 1, 2027, and is non-refundable but can be carried forward for up to five years or transferred/sold. The total annual credit amount is capped at $500,000, and the Missouri Department of Public Safety must maintain an annual list of eligible organizations on its website. The program expires automatically six years after enactment unless reauthorized by the legislature.
HB 3364 establishes new tariff rules for large industrial utility users. It requires electricity providers to charge customers with annual peak demand of 50+ megawatts (or 100+ megawatts for providers with over 250,000 customers) and water users exceeding 2 million gallons daily or 80% of system capacity based on their actual service costs. The bill mandates that rates reflect each customer's fair share of infrastructure costs, preventing other customer classes from bearing unreasonable costs from these large users. Utilities must adjust tariffs to ensure costs are distributed fairly and submit water service contracts for regulatory approval.
HB 3362 establishes new rules for utilities serving large industrial customers in electricity and water. It defines "large" electricity users as those with annual peak demands of 50-100 megawatts or more (depending on the utility’s size) and large water users as those exceeding 2 million gallons per day or 80% of system capacity. Utilities must create contracts and rate structures reflecting each large customer’s fair cost share, preventing other customers from subsidizing these high-usage accounts. Electric providers must also develop load-shedding plans with large electricity customers to prioritize critical facilities and residential service during system operations.
HB 3428 creates a tax amnesty program allowing taxpayers to pay past-due taxes from 2014 without penalties or interest, provided they pay in full by November 30, 2015, and agree to comply with tax laws for eight years. It directly affects taxpayers with unpaid state tax liabilities due by December 31, 2014, excluding those under criminal investigation or litigation. The program establishes a "Tax Amnesty Fund" to hold payments, using funds to increase MO HealthNet provider reimbursements and dental coverage for adults in fiscal 2016, with any remaining money after 2023 transferred to general revenue. The bill specifies strict eligibility rules, including full payment deadlines, 8-year compliance requirements, and forfeiture of appeal rights for participating taxpayers.
HB 3204 creates a 70% state tax credit for Missouri taxpayers who contribute $50 or more to certified prevention resource centers, which are entities within the Missouri Department of Mental Health's prevention network. Taxpayers can claim a maximum annual credit of $50,000 per year, with the total statewide credits capped at $2.5 million annually. Unused credits may be carried forward for up to five years, and the program expires six years after enactment unless renewed by the legislature.
HB 3186 clarifies that "public swimming pool" includes community pools in apartment complexes or housing developments for residents and guests. This expands location restrictions preventing certain sex offenders (convicted of specific crimes like child sexual exploitation) from being within 500 feet of facilities primarily for children's recreation, such as public pools, parks with playgrounds, or children's museums. The bill specifically adds residential community pools to the definition of "public swimming pool" under these restrictions. It also allows parents or guardians of children attending programs at Missouri Department of Conservation centers to be present with their child if granted permission by the center manager.
HCR 36 designates June 3 as "Josephine Baker Day" in Missouri to honor the legacy of Josephine Baker, a St. Louis-born performer, human rights activist, and World War II resistance figure. The resolution celebrates her contributions to the arts, civil rights, and democracy, as noted in the legislative text. This is a commemorative resolution, not a policy bill, and would require Governor approval under Missouri law. It directly affects Missouri residents through official recognition of Baker's historical significance.
SB 1255 would require counties to issue licenses that allow mobile food units to operate across all municipalities within that county, overriding stricter local permit requirements. It directly affects mobile food unit operators who currently face varying municipal rules in different cities or towns. The bill establishes that a single county-issued license would be valid throughout the county, eliminating the need for separate municipal permits. However, it explicitly states this does not change existing health and food safety regulations under Chapter 196.
SB 1286 requires local governments in Missouri to approve or deny building permit applications within 30 days. If no decision is made within that timeframe, the permit is automatically approved, allowing construction to proceed. If denied, local governments must provide specific written reasons - either detailing why a design professional's work was inadequate or citing exact code violations. This bill directly affects developers and property owners seeking construction permits for new or renovated residential, commercial, or industrial buildings.
HB 2329 reduces the tax assessment rate for tangible personal property (such as business equipment, vehicles, and movable assets) owned by businesses and individuals in Missouri. It phases down the current 33.33% assessment rate over three years: to 28.22% in 2027, 23.11% in 2028, and permanently to 18% starting in 2029. The bill repeals the existing assessment rate language in Missouri law (section 137.115) and replaces it with this new phased reduction schedule. This directly lowers property tax bills for owners of tangible personal property beginning in 2027.
HB 1746 declares AI systems non-sentient entities under state law and assigns legal responsibility for their actions to humans. It prohibits AI from holding legal personhood, marriage rights, corporate roles, or owning property - requiring all assets and liability to remain with owners, developers, or users. The bill mandates owners to maintain oversight for AI systems impacting safety, holds developers liable only for design defects (not misuse), and prevents companies from evading accountability through shell entities. It applies to all AI developed after August 28, 2026, and requires prompt reporting of severe incidents involving AI.
