HB 3286 modifies Missouri's domestic violence protection order process to require courts to prohibit respondents from possessing firearms during active orders. It mandates that courts issue written firearm prohibitions, orally inform respondents, and immediately notify the Missouri Highway Patrol to update the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). This applies specifically to individuals subject to domestic violence protection orders, directly affecting respondents in such cases. The bill adds this firearm restriction as a standard provision within existing protection order mechanisms, without altering other elements like custody or child support.
HB 3330 allows licensed health care providers (like doctors and dietitians) to issue "nutrition prescriptions" for specific whole, locally grown fruits and vegetables to treat diet-sensitive conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. It creates a system where patients can fill these prescriptions through approved local food programs - like hospital-based food-as-medicine initiatives, food banks, or direct partnerships with state-grown produce farmers. Participation by providers, patients, or food programs is voluntary, and the bill explicitly states it won’t affect eligibility for SNAP or WIC benefits. The program relies on locally produced, unprocessed foods meeting health department standards, with rules to be developed by the Department of Health and Senior Services.
HB 3331 requires state departments to share specific information with the House and Senate budget committees upon request. It mandates departments to provide: the names and count of nonprofit groups receiving state funds, copies of their IRS Form 990 tax filings, annual data on individuals served (including zip codes), and any agreements between the department and nonprofits. This bill directly affects state departments managing grant programs and the budget committees overseeing state spending. As a transparency measure, it focuses on procedural information sharing rather than altering funding rules. (Procedural bill; summary kept to 4 sentences as requested.)
HB 3327 creates "entertainment districts" in cities bordering the Missouri River with populations between 46,000 and 51,000. It allows special licenses for bars, restaurants, and portable bars within these districts to serve alcohol until 1:30 a.m. Monday-Saturday and 6:00 a.m.-1:30 a.m. Sunday, with containers marked by the licensee. Licensees pay a $300 annual fee and are responsible for alcohol violations on their premises or in common areas. The bill also prohibits taking alcohol outside the district boundaries and requires city governing bodies to adopt district rules via ordinance. (Note: The bill was introduced February 17, 2026, and is pending further action.)
HB 3325 creates two new special license plate programs. For sports fans, it allows vehicle owners to pay a $35 annual fee to a professional sports team (like the Chiefs or Cardinals) for personalized plates bearing the team’s emblem, with the team forwarding most funds to local sports authorities or charities (e.g., the Chiefs’ Children’s Fund). For commemoration, it establishes a $15 fee for a Revolutionary War 250th-anniversary plate featuring Missouri’s silhouette and specific wording, with no additional personalization fee. Both programs require minimum applications (100 for team plates) and use reflective materials meeting state design standards. The bill does not affect commercial vehicles or apportioned vehicles.
HB 3319 modifies the personal needs allowance for Missouri HealthNet participants residing in institutional care facilities. It sets a minimum monthly allowance of $30 (or the federal minimum if higher) and requires annual increases tied to Social Security cost-of-living adjustments or the Consumer Price Index, capped at $70 per month. The allowance increases by up to $5 yearly until reaching $70, after which it adjusts annually based on the national Consumer Price Index. This directly affects low-income Missourians in long-term care facilities who must cover some care costs from their income.
HB 3321 modifies budgeting and financial management rules for urban public library districts. It changes the deadline for approving annual budgets (from a fixed June 30 date to one set by the library board) and specifies how different funds must be handled - requiring separate accounts for operating costs, building projects, and state/federal grants. The bill also clarifies that the library treasurer must follow strict procedures for spending, including board authorization and proper fund allocation, and must provide regular financial reports to the board. These changes directly affect the day-to-day financial operations of urban library districts.
HB 3318 requires drivers to stop at railroad crossings whenever any on-track equipment (such as maintenance vehicles) is present, not just when trains are approaching. This expands existing safety rules that already mandate stops for trains, adding clear language to cover all moving equipment on the tracks. Drivers must stop 15-50 feet from the nearest rail and wait until it's safe to proceed, applying to scenarios like warning signals, lowered gates, or visible approaching equipment. The bill directly affects all drivers passing railroad crossings, with penalties for violations including a class C misdemeanor. It does not change other existing crossing rules, such as stopping for insufficient clearance or commercial vehicle speed requirements.
HB 3323 reestablishes a state-funded program providing prostate cancer screening, treatment, and education for uninsured or economically challenged men in Missouri. It creates two designated programs - one in an urban area and one in a rural area - to serve men aged 35+ at high risk (with physician advice) or 50+ who qualify based on income (up to 150% of federal poverty level) or lack of insurance. The program will fund screenings, referrals, treatment, mental health support, and outreach through grants to local health departments and community health centers. After three years, the state must report on participation, demographics, and cost savings from early detection, with the program set to expire six years after implementation unless renewed.
HB 3324 modifies Missouri's method for calculating taxable income by adjusting federal adjusted gross income. It adds back certain federal tax benefits previously deducted, including pandemic-related refunds (like CARES Act payments), interest on specific government bonds, and excess depreciation deductions. The bill also includes subtraction provisions for items like federal interest income and state tax refunds to offset these additions. These changes apply broadly to Missouri taxpayers - not just farmers - and aim to align state tax calculations more closely with federal rules for specific income items. The bill is currently in early legislative stages (introduced February 2026).
HB 3326 protects charitable organizations from lawsuits when they disclose in good faith allegations of sexual misconduct against individuals. It specifically covers disclosures made to other charities or their employees/volunteers about claims involving sexual misconduct, abuse, harassment, or sexual offenses under state law. The immunity applies only if the organization reasonably believes the disclosure is true and acts without malicious intent. This bill does not cover disclosures about one's own experience of abuse or actions taken in bad faith.
HB 3266 establishes a formal bill of rights for people experiencing homelessness in the state. It guarantees specific protections, including the right to move freely in public spaces, receive equal treatment from government agencies, access emergency medical care, maintain reasonable privacy for personal belongings, vote with necessary documentation, and keep personal records confidential. The law explicitly prohibits denying these rights solely due to homelessness, ensuring existing legal protections apply equally to all residents regardless of housing status.
