HB 3284 designates August 27th each year as "Crystal Lynn Foundation Day" in Missouri. The bill encourages Missouri citizens to participate in events that educate about and support individuals impacted by gun violence through the Crystal Lynn Foundation. This is a commemorative resolution, not a policy change, and it does not create new laws, funding, or obligations. The bill was introduced in February 2026 but withdrawn before further action.
HJR 164 proposes a constitutional amendment in Missouri that would prohibit expanding state and local sales/use taxes to cover new services or transactions after January 1, 2015, unless the expansion is specifically intended to reduce or eliminate the state individual income tax. It would allow the legislature to broaden the sales tax base for this purpose and exempt such tax increases from certain revenue requirements and reporting rules. The amendment, if approved by voters, would directly affect Missouri taxpayers and lawmakers by restricting future tax expansions while creating a pathway to replace income tax with sales tax. This proposal requires voter approval in a 2026 election and is not yet law.
HB 2171 creates a two-year "Motivational Boot Camp Incarceration Program" within Missouri's Department of Corrections. It allows eligible individuals aged 17-21 with two prior nonviolent offenses to be sentenced to this program instead of jail or prison for a third nonviolent offense (excluding serious crimes like murder or rape). The program requires rigorous physical activity, counseling to address criminal behavior, written rules for participants, and medical clearance before enrollment. Successful completion results in the criminal conviction being expunged from the person's record, while failure leads to the original sentence being imposed. The program expires after six years unless the legislature reauthorizes it.
This bill's title claims to authorize an income tax deduction for tipped income, but the provided text describes a different measure: it modifies Missouri's tax code to adjust federal adjusted gross income (AGI) for state tax calculations. The bill adds specific federal tax items to Missouri taxable income (like certain federal tax refunds, interest on exempt bonds, and excess business deductions) and subtracts others (like state tax refunds or military income). It does not address tipped income deductions, making the title misleading based on the actual provisions. The bill would affect Missouri taxpayers by altering how federal tax items impact their state tax liability.
This bill creates a grant program to fund FDA-approved clinical trials using ibogaine (a substance under review for treating opioid use disorder and mental health conditions). It requires state-based medical entities with specific research expertise, matching non-state funds, and partnerships with other states to apply for grants. The bill establishes two dedicated funds: one for grant disbursements and another to manage revenue from intellectual property rights generated by successful trials, with funds directed toward veterans and at-risk populations. It mandates quarterly reporting on trial progress and financials to the health department, while requiring physician supervision for ibogaine administration during trials.
HB 3055 modifies Missouri law to regulate ketamine administration for mental health treatment. It prohibits physicians from delegating ketamine ordering to others and requires physicians to be physically present when certified nurse anesthetists administer ketamine. The bill also mandates that intravenous ketamine treatment must include a documented diagnosis and treatment plan from a licensed physician. These changes directly affect physicians, certified nurse anesthetists, and mental health facilities providing ketamine therapy.
HB 2862 prohibits creating AI-generated videos or audio that falsely impersonate a person to deceive others, excluding artistic expression like satire. It allows any resident of the state to seek a court order within two years if their likeness is used without consent in deceptive digital content, with expedited relief (within 2 days) available for severe harms like sexual content or reputational damage. The law protects platforms from liability for user content and requires proof that the impersonation was deceptive and not consensual. It does not apply to artistic works, public figures in most cases, or content that’s clearly labeled as fake.
HB 2832 creates a new "Office of the Department of Corrections Ombudsman" to independently monitor prison conditions and investigate inmate concerns. The office will track issues like sanitation, abuse, medical care access, and facility safety through annual facility inspections, data collection on incidents (e.g., suicides, assaults), and complaint investigations. It directly affects inmates by providing oversight of their living conditions and rights, and family members by improving access to visitation and communication. The ombudsman will issue public reports and recommendations to the corrections oversight committee, which includes formerly incarcerated individuals and family members. This bill establishes a concrete mechanism for accountability without altering prison funding or sentencing policies.
HB 3049 revises Missouri's criminal justice information system by requiring law enforcement agencies to submit arrest, charge, and disposition data - including fingerprints, photos, and biometric information - to the Missouri State Highway Patrol's central repository without delay. It sets specific rules for handling juvenile records, ensuring minors under 17 arrested for felony offenses have fingerprints processed without including their names in the central repository. The bill also mandates detailed reporting for felony cases and imposes penalties, including loss of state or federal funding, for agencies failing to comply with these requirements. These changes aim to improve the accuracy and timeliness of criminal history records across Missouri's law enforcement and court systems.
HB 1628 modifies Missouri's higher education and workforce development laws by creating a "Ready to Work" endorsement program for high school seniors, allowing schools to certify students meeting specific academic and work-readiness standards by June 2007. It reorganizes the workforce development governance structure, renaming the "Missouri Workforce Investment Board" to the "Workforce Development Board" and aligning its operations with federal WIOA requirements. The bill also requires the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development to coordinate state and federal job training resources, including ensuring economically disadvantaged individuals have access to new job opportunities created through state business assistance programs. These changes directly affect high school students, local workforce boards, and state agencies managing job training and employment services.
HB 1643 legalizes limited personal use of psilocybin (a compound found in "magic mushrooms") for therapeutic purposes under strict conditions. It directly affects adults aged 21+ with qualifying conditions like end-of-life care, PTSD, major depression, or substance use disorders, as documented by a physician. Key provisions require users to obtain medical documentation, use a trained facilitator (with specific qualifications), undergo lab testing, and limit intake to 150mg annually. The bill also shields facilitators, healthcare providers, and labs from legal penalties for compliant use, while maintaining patient confidentiality.
HB 1913 creates a civil cause of action for individuals whose intimate digital depictions are disclosed without consent. It directly affects people whose realistic digital images - showing private body parts, sexual conduct, or bodily fluids - were created or altered using digital manipulation, especially if shared by the creator who knew consent was lacking. Key provisions require explicit written consent for disclosure (not just creation), allow recovery of actual damages, $150,000 in liquidated damages, or punitive damages, and enable court orders to stop disclosure or maintain anonymity. The law excludes disclosures made by law enforcement, in legal proceedings, or for public interest, and clarifies tech providers aren’t liable for such content.
